The team will assist Swedes on site who have been affected by canceled flights.
"To help people who want to get out another way, by road," Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) tells TV4.
Around 20,000 Swedes live in the countries around the Persian Gulf, and there are also thousands of stranded travelers who have been on vacation and are waiting for flights to start operating again.
The team will also try to get to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates, the Prime Minister says.
"As soon as it is possible to get there to be able to help on site. Both to coordinate regular air transport once it gets going, but also to help people who want to get out another way, by road. It is dangerous and difficult, of course," says Kristersson.
During the morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also expanded its travel advice to the area. Due to the deteriorating situation, travel to all of Lebanon is now also advised against. The same advice has previously applied to Iraq, the Palestinian territories and Israel.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also urges Swedes to leave Iran and Yemen.
Non-essential travel to Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar (transit not included), Kuwait and Jordan is also advised against.
For Egypt and Saudi Arabia, the advice applies to certain vulnerable areas.
