March 2, 2026- Update 3- Middle East/North Africa: Recommended travel deferrals due to conflict
Effective March 2, 2026, International Operations continues to recommend against all travel to Israel and Lebanon. Travel to other destinations in the Middle East and North Africa should be limited to essential travel only, with the exception of North African countries such as Egypt and Morocco. Connecting flights through regional hubs such as Dubai, UAE, Doha, Qatar, and elsewhere may be subject to cancellations, diversions, or re-routing on a no-notice basis due to security developments. We recommend that travelers consult with International Operations prior to booking to discuss security conditions at their destination country.
Contact International Operations at internationaltravel@umaryland.edu if you have questions or concerns.
