Emergency Evacuation
Secure Ground Transportation & Assisted Departures in the Middle East
How we support emergency evacuations across the Middle East
When security conditions deteriorate, organisations need to know where their people are, how they can move safely and what evacuation options remain available.
We arrange controlled, intelligence-led movement when regional security conditions threaten personnel safety or disrupt normal travel arrangements.
Every movement is assessed against current conditions. Routes, vehicle availability, departure options and border access cannot be guaranteed in advance.
Secure ground transportation
Vetted drivers, appropriate vehicles and planned movements between hotels, offices, residences, airports and other locations.
Emergency evacuation
Coordinated relocation from affected areas to safer locations, operational airports or approved border crossings.
Cross-border evacuation
Route planning and coordinated transfers where entry requirements, security conditions and permissions allow.
Protective security support
Security-trained drivers, protective personnel and armoured vehicle options where appropriate and available.
Onward travel coordination
Assistance assessing commercial flights, charter feasibility and onward transport arrangements.
24/7 GSOC oversight
Intelligence-led monitoring, operational coordination and communication throughout the journey.

Planning Ahead of Regional Escalation
Advance planning can help security, travel and HR teams establish where personnel are located, who is responsible for activation, what movement restrictions may apply and how employees will receive instructions.
Solace Global can support contingency planning, assess potential evacuation requirements and coordinate preparatory arrangements ahead of a deterioration in security conditions.

24/7 Global Security Operations Centre
Operating around the clock, our Global Security Opeartions Centre (GSOC) monitors developments across the Middle East, including airspace status, airport operations, border crossings and wider security conditions. This enables us to adjust routes, departure timings and transport arrangements as circumstances evolve.
During active evacuations, GSOC maintains direct coordination with drivers, aviation partners and on-the-ground personnel, providing real-time updates and structured decision support throughout the movement process. From transport disruption to sudden airspace restrictions, oversight remains constant until safe arrival is confirmed.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do I need a visa before crossing a land border?
Yes. Before travelling to any border crossing, you should confirm the visa requirements for the country you intend to enter, based on your nationality and residency status.
Some travellers may qualify for visa-on-arrival or eVisa, while others must obtain a visa in advance. Entry requirements can change quickly during periods of instability, so the most reliable information should always be obtained through official government immigration or consular websites.
Many travellers are turned back at borders due to expired or invalid visas.
Before departing for a border crossing you should confirm:
-
Your visa or eVisa is still valid
-
The visa allows entry through land borders (some only allow airport entry)
-
Your passport meets validity requirements (often 6 months remaining)
If your visa will expire during transit or shortly after arrival, you should arrange a new visa before departing.
What documents should I carry when evacuating across a border?
Travellers should carry both physical and digital copies of key travel documents.
Essential documents include:
-
Passport (ensure validity requirements are met)
-
Residence permit or national ID (if applicable)
-
Visa approval printout (if travelling with an eVisa)
-
Accommodation details on arrival
-
Evidence of onward or return travel
Can Solace Global assist with evacuation planning?
Yes. Solace Global Risk provides 24/7 security assistance, evacuation planning, secure transportation, and crisis coordination through our Global Security Operations Centre and network of global security teams. We assess the situation and plan the safest available route to move you and your people to safety, arranging secure ground transportation from your residence or hotel to a border crossing or evacuation point, with support for onward travel where required.
Which Middle Eastern countries do you provide evacuation support in?
We coordinate emergency evacuation and secure transportation across Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. Support may include movement to operational airports, cross-border relocation or onward international travel.
What types of evacuation do you provide?
Support may include secure ground transport, airport facilitation, commercial flight coordination, charter flight arrangements and cross-border evacuation where required. The appropriate solution depends on current security conditions and available routes.
How quickly can evacuation be arranged in Israel or the Gulf states?
Timelines depend on airspace access, airport operations, border status and local security conditions. Our team assesses available options immediately and outlines practical next steps without delay.
What happens if airspace is closed?
If commercial flights are suspended, we review alternative airports, charter options and approved land corridors, including cross-border routes. All options are assessed against current entry and exit requirements.
