BEIRUT: The Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon has advised its citizens to avoid the area of Downtown Beirut, Al-Hayat reported Sunday.

Sources at the embassy told the Pan-Arab newspaper that the advisory was also sent to Saudi tourists and students in the country.

The advisory, sources told the newspaper, was prompted after a series of harassment cases against Saudi nationals which followed the assault of a Saudi prince in August.
