Tour operators strongly recommend... not to visit the region at this time. Since October 7, tourist numbers in the Middle East have been almost non-existent, whether in Israel and Lebanon, but also in neighboring areas usually frequented by French tourists. Egypt and Jordan have experienced a sudden halt to their tourist numbers, with some French tour operators reporting drops of up to 80% compared to last year. The two companies of the Air France-KLM group, after a period of complete cessation of their flights to Israel after October 7,. both resumed their operations there at the start of 2024. Note that the German company Lufthansa, which still served Iran, announced the suspension of its flights to and from Tehran.
