Fit to fly
Eager travellers looking to jet off from (or in to) Abu Dhabi were given some welcome news at the end of last month, with restrictions on inbound travel quarantine being relaxed.
Passengers from some countries on a ‘Green List’ are now able to travel into the country with a greatly-reduced quarantine period (just the length of time between the PCR test on arrival until receiving a negative result).
The Green List is accessible from visitabudhabi.ae
Those travelling into Abu Dhabi from countries not on the Green List will have a reduced quarantine period of 10 days (previously 14).
The list will be updated every 14 days.
PCR tests will still have to be taken by all international travellers on arrival, on day six and day 12 for everyone staying these durations.
Both we and Etihad thoroughly recommend you check specific destination requirements on the etihad.com/destinationguide webpage.
