Covid-19 measures in Abu Dhabi have been lifted ahead of the peak winter sun holiday period.
The Gulf state removed the need for tourists to register their Covid vaccination status before arrival or take PCR tests.
Visitors no longer require ‘green pass’ status proving they are fully jabbed and have taken regular PCR tests on the official UAE Al Hosn Covid-19 app to access hotels, shopping centres, restaurants and theme parks.
However, anyone who tests positive for Covid-19 is required to isolate for a period of five days.
“Now it’s easier than ever to enjoy the variety of enriching experiences in Abu Dhabi, all available just moments apart,” the Department of Culture and Tourism said.
The relaxation of the rules came as the emirate unveiled a new Experience Abu Dhabi campaign to attract tourists.
The change came as the culture and tourism department sealed a year-long deal with bed bank Hotelbeds to encourage travel agents to promote Abu Dhabi as a leading tourist destination across key and emerging markets.
The partnership also opens up opportunities for collaboration on roadshows and meetings with travel partners, as well as collaborate on initiatives to promote attractions and events in Abu Dhabi
The emirate is also staging 100 days of music, entertainment, sporting and family events.
The Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix takes place on November 30.
