<div style="text-align: center;">Abu Dhabi&rsquo;s government is preparing for a complete stop on the city&rsquo;s entry restrictions from the 24th of December 2020!&nbsp;Travel restrictions between UAE&#39;s emirates&nbsp;have been in place since&nbsp;March 2020.&nbsp;New COVID 19 precautionary measures in Abu Dhabi&nbsp;have now been put in place to control the pandemic&rsquo;s effects and the potential spread of&nbsp;COVID-19. 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The policy change will affect tourists from overseas, with passengers traveling from&nbsp;&lsquo;Green List&rsquo; countries&nbsp;into the country with a reduced quarantine period.

From the prior 14-day quarantine period, it is now only 10 days. The Green List of countries will be updates every 14 days, PCR tests will have to be taken by all travellers on arrival on day 6 and day 12 for international travellers staying during these durations.
