Fully vaccinated travellers to Abu Dhabi will no longer need to take a PCR test before boarding their flight.

Prizes include a race experience at the Silverstone circuit, tickets to see Manchester City, DCT Abu Dhabi-branded goods and Etihad Airways flights

Travellers will still be required to show an official Covid-19 vaccination certificate with a readable QR code upon arrival. 

The move comes after the emirate’s Department of Culture and Tourism removed the green list system for all arrivals, following "positive indicators" the destination has entered the recovery phase of the pandemic. 

Unvaccinated arrivals will still need to present a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours of departure, or a Covid recovery certificate dated within 30 days of departure. Travellers under 12 years old are exempt.
