Abu Dhabi announces new ‘Green List’ tourist destinations

The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has issued the updated ‘Green List’ of destinations. Vaccinated travellers arriving from these destinations will be exempt from mandatory quarantine measures after landing in the emirate and will be required to undergo PCR testing upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport, as well as another PCR test on day 6.

Unvaccinated travellers arriving from these countries are exempt from mandatory quarantine but will also need to undergo PCR testing on arrival, as well as two further PCR tests on day 6 and 12.

The countries in the updated ‘Green List’ of destinations include Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and United States of America. Countries, regions and territories included on the ‘Green List’ will be regularly updated based on international developments.

Inclusion on the list is subject to strict criteria of health and safety to ensure the well-being of the UAE community. The list also only applies to countries travellers are arriving from, rather than citizenship.
