ORIGINAL POSTER

Travel requirements for the UAE have changed. Customers travelling from the UK and arriving or transiting in Dubai must present a negative COVID-19 RT PCR test certificate. The test should be taken at an approved facility within 48 hours of flight departure. UAE nationals and children under 12 years are exempted.  Due to the ongoing health situation worldwide, rules may change constantly, so keep checking our Travel requirements page for the latest updates on travel. If you are travelling between countries with different rules, please follow the most restrictive requirements.
