Tourists visiting Abu Dhabi given updated guidelines for arriving in the UAE

Last week, Abu Dhabi opened to tourists for the first time since March.

The Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship (ICA) said the move would “support recovery plans of the country’s tourism sector and economy”.

Abu Dhabi has been operating on a different set of regulations to Dubai, which has its own immigration service and allowed tourists to return in June.

The Crisis, Emergency and Disasters Committee has now updated the regulations for international travellers arriving in Abu Dhabi.

International travellers are expected to disclose the date of entry at all ports and are required to abide by quarantine regulations, here.

Failure to do so can result in fines as outlined by the Attorney General.

At the time of writing, all incoming passengers must wear an electronic wristband for 14 days, with people needing to quarantine for that time.

All travellers to the UAE must also take a PCR nasal swab test before boarding their flight in their home country.
