PCR test on arrival and are subject to a further test on the sixth day.

Updated travel protocols for Emiratis, residents and tourists landing in the emirate of Abu Dhabi are to take effect on Sunday 15 August.

Vaccinated travellers arriving in the capital from green list countries will now not need to quarantine, according to the new rules issued by the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee.

However, they must take a PCR test on arrival and are subject to a further test on the sixth day.

 

 

Vaccinated travellers arriving from other destinations must take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for seven days and take a PCR test on the sixth day.

The new rule now includes visitors, with previously the rules only covering Emiratis and residents returning from overseas.

Unvaccinated citizens, residents and visitors arriving into Abu Dhabi from green list destinations must take a PCR test on arrival without the need to quarantine, and take a PCR test on days six and nine.

When arriving from other destinations, travellers must take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for 10 days and take another PCR test on the ninth day.
