The relaxing of the testing requirements will be a boost to the family market to the UAE with the winter-sun season approaching.
Under current regulations, travellers to the UAE do not need to take a pre-departure PCR test if they are fully vaccinated, hold a Covid recovery certificate dated within 30 days of departure or have “severe disabilities”.
Those who are not fully vaccinated or do not have a recovery certificate must instead provide a negative PCR test, taken within 48 hours of departure, which must be presented at check-in for their flight to the UAE.
