You must now prebook your rapid COVID-19 test before you reach the Abu Dhabi border.

Due to high demand for the laser-based DPI screening to enter the Abu Dhabi border, the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis & Disasters Committee approved a NEW process in which the service provider will only offer screening based on pre-booked appointments via the Quantlase booking website, according to Abu Dhabi Media Office.

Travellers with a negative COVID-19 test (PCR) result will continue to be allowed to enter through the Abu Dhabi border within 48 hours from receiving the result

The online booking system is up and running for the Abu Dhabi border, however, dates for this weekend are not available
