Gulf Arab states have advised citizens not to travel to Lebanon, a popular summer tourist destination that is becoming increasingly engulfed in neighboring Syria's civil war, official Saudi news agency SPA reported.
"Most GCC states have urged their nationals to avoid travelling to Lebanon due to the instability of the security situation there," Gulf Cooperation Council's chief Andullatif al-Zayani was quoted as saying late on Wednesday.
Lebanon is "unsafe" for citizens of the GCC, made up of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Zayani said.
