Travel Alerts

Update as of March 4th, 2026: We are continuing to monitor developments following the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, 2026, and Iran’s subsequent retaliation. Airspace restrictions and temporary disruptions remain in place in parts of the Middle East as the situation continues to evolve.

We are in close contact with our local operating partner in Egypt, Intrepid, to evaluate all March departures. We will coordinate with each Host on the best path forward given the current guidance. A decision regarding these trips has not been made yet, and we will communicate directly with affected Travelers as soon as additional information is available. We appreciate your patience as we conduct this review thoughtfully and with safety as our guiding priority.

Travelers routing through major Middle Eastern Hubs may experience schedule changes, longer flight times or last-minute adjustments. We recommend travelers:

• Review their complete flight itinerary (including all connections).
• Check whether they are connecting through major Middle Eastern hubs.
• Monitor their flight status directly with your airline.
• Ensure their contact information is updated with the airline to receive alerts.

If travelers have not already purchased travel insurance, we strongly advise them to do so right away. This will provide protection against unforeseen cancellations or delays.
