The U.S. Embassy in Muscat, Oman, remains fully operational and has not altered its security posture despite ongoing regional events. The embassy has received inquiries from the U.S. citizen community regarding crisis preparedness resources. In response, it is sharing these resources and advising U.S. citizens in Oman to take general security precautions.
The embassy recommends that individuals "be aware of your surroundings," "avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings," and "monitor local media." It also advises avoiding areas with a heavy police presence and following instructions from local authorities. Travelers should contact airlines directly for any flight changes if affected.
U.S. citizens are encouraged to exercise caution at locations associated with the United States, maintain a low profile, and prepare an emergency plan by reviewing the Crisis Preparedness Checklist and Traveler’s Checklist available on the Department of State website.
