Abu Dhabi will remove quarantine restrictions for all international travellers from July

A new system, similar to Dubai will be put in place, with PCR essential for all travellers, along with further requirements depending on high or low-risk countries, according to reports. It’s worth noting, there will be exceptions to the rule, and travellers from India will not be permitted to enter the capital without quarantine.

Along with that, a border between Dubai and Abu Dhabi WILL still be in place, however, there will be updates to make it a smoother process.
