Beginning Sunday, Abu Dhabi will no longer require any vaccinated travelers to quarantine upon arrival, no matter their country of origin. 

Under new guidelines announced by the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and Disasters Committee on Thursday, both vaccinated and unvaccinated travelers boarding flights to the Emirati capital will be required to present a negative PCR test taken 48 hours before departure. Upon arrival, all travelers must also test negative for the coronavirus.
