As for U.S. government personnel and their families, they are prohibited from traveling within 50 miles of the Yemeni border and to the cities of Jizan and Najran without permission. U.S. government personnel may not travel to the city of Qatif in the Eastern Province and its surrounding suburbs, including Awamiyah, Hofuf, and Al Hasa Governorate due to violent incidents that have occurred there in the past.
The State Department recommends that individuals who have concerns should report them to the U.S. embassy in Riyadh, the U.S. Consulate General in Jeddah, or the U.S. Consulate General in Dhahran.
