Travellers to Abu Dhabi need to pay attention to this!

With travel plans kicking in, the enthusiasm to fly to places doesn’t take a back seat. But these quarantine rules are not something that can stop us. News for non-vaccinated passengers from countries not on the green list is that they have to home quarantine for 12 days, instead of 10. Arrivals from green list countries already do not need to home quarantine, under Abu Dhabi’s coronavirus regulations.
The capital updated its travel procedures for citizens and residents returning from abroad for its safety & well-being, effective from Monday, 05th July. The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee said vaccinated travellers arriving from green list destinations must take a PCR test on arrival without the need to quarantine, and take a PCR test on day 6.
Travellers arriving from destinations not on the green list must take a PCR test on arrival, quarantine for seven days and take a PCR test on day 6. The rule applies to vaccinated UAE citizens and residents who received their second dose at least 28 days earlier, documented on Al Hosn app.
To make it easier for you, here’s a detailed description for non-vaccinated travellers, before you decide to start booking your tickets.
Unvaccinated citizens and residents arriving in 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 6 and 12.
