Cuba

Last Updated: 10/28/2024

We’re glad to report that the electric grid in Cuba has been repaired and is functioning normally throughout the island. Only some regions of the eastern part of the island that were impacted by hurricane Oscar are still being repaired. Our Cuba tours do not visit that region, and all Cuba departures are now operating as usual.

Israel

In light of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, we have temporarily suspended our Israel tours with departure dates scheduled through December 31, 2024.

We want to assure you that your well-being is our top priority. For travelers booked on trips that include Israel, our team will contact you shortly with rescheduling information. There is no need to reach out to us at this time; we've got you covered.

At Friendly Planet Travel, we deeply value your trust in us and appreciate your understanding during these challenging times. We sincerely hope for a speedy resolution to the devastating conflict and peace for the Israelis and Palestinians.

There has been no change to travel advice for Egypt and Jordan. Our trips in Egypt & Jordan are running as scheduled.

Turkey

As of January 5,2024, US Citizens are no longer required to obtain a visa for entry into Turkey.
