Abu Dhabi lifts quarantine rules for fully vaccinated international passengers. Details here

The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has updated travel procedures for citizens, residents and visitors entering Abu Dhabi from abroad.

A negative PCR test remains a requirement to travel to the United Arab Emirates’ capital, it said.

Effective from Today, September 5, Covid-vaccinated travellers from all destinations arriving at Abu Dhabi will not need to quarantine. Unvaccinated travellers from destinations that are not on the ‘green list’ must quarantine for 10 days.
