Abu Dhabi eases restrictions for unvaccinated visitors

Those who are unvaccinated can now access events and attractions with a negative PCR test result

The Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee has updated its requirements to now allow unvaccinated visitors to enter events, tourist attractions and cultural sites in the emirate.

Though unvaccinated individuals are now able to access these venues, they will require a negative PCR test result from a test taken within 48 hours.

According to a statement by the Abu Dhabi Media Office, the updated guidelines are part of a reduction in precautionary measures in line with the ongoing recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last month, it was announced that the green pass on the Alhosn app was no longer a requirement to enter Abu Dhabi from within the UAE and EDE scanners were removed from entry points to the emirate.

Vaccinated travellers do not need to conduct a pre-departure PCR test when heading to the UAE, provided that they have a Covid-19 vaccination certificate with a QR code on it. Unvaccinated travellers bound for the UAE must show a negative PCR test result obtained within 48 hours of departure, or a recovery certificate with a QR code that confirms they have recovered from the virus within a month of the date of travel.
