Dubai and Abu Dhabi travel advice changed by UK Foreign Office

The UK's Foreign Office has updated its advice for people travelling to the United Arab Emirates - which includes Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

All passengers travelling to the UAE are no longer required to present a COVID‑19 vaccination certificate or perform PCR tests.

Passengers travelling from or through the UAE are only required to comply with the transit requirements and travel requirements of their final destination and will only need to have proof of COVID-19 vaccination and/or a negative COVID-19 PCR test if required at their final destination.

Shops, restaurants, tourist attractions and religious establishments across the UAE are open and largely operating as normal. The rules for masks changed on November 7. The wearing of masks is only mandatory in medical facilities and centres for people with disabilities.

Wearing of masks is optional for all other open and closed facilities and spaces. Further information is available on the Emirates News Agency website.

The AlHosn app is the UAE’s official app related to COVID-19. With effect from November 7 it is no longer necessary to have a ‘green pass’ on the ‘Al Hosn’ App to enter public facilities and sites.

The Al Hosn App use will be limited to proving vaccination and test results.
