Planning Tips
- Travelers should thoroughly research the current security situation and consult official government travel advisories before considering a visit.
- Hiring a vehicle with a vetted driver while in the city is strongly recommended; self-driving is not advised.
- Travel by road outside the city is extremely dangerous and should be avoided.
- Secure accommodation with high walls, barbed wire, and armed security is essential.
