Australians have been urged to reconsider whether they need to travel to even more nations as tensions in the Middle East persist.<\/p>\n
The government has updated its travel advice for Jordan, Oman and Saudi Arabia, with officials describing the conflict as \u201cvolatile\u201d.<\/p>\n
All three nations have seen their advice level upgraded to level three, which urges people to reconsider whether they need to travel.<\/p>\n
The warning, issued on the Smartraveller website, advises Aussies to \u201cavoid non-essential travel\u201d and to \u201cstay as short a time as possible\u201d if in transit.<\/p>\n
The three nations join Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on level three warnings, as officials continue to respond to the developing conflict in the Middle East.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, six nations continue to be on the highest warning level, which advises Aussies not to travel at all.<\/p>\n
These are Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria and Yemen.<\/p>\n
