Abu Dhabi's updated Green List includes Morocco & 81 other destinations

The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) has announced a further update to the ‘Green List’ of countries for inbound travel into Abu Dhabi.

The updated list includes 82 destinations, and all travellers arriving from the updated ‘Green List’ destinations are exempt from quarantine measures after landing in Abu Dhabi. 

The list has been in effect since Friday, October 8. 

The list supports the easing of travel restrictions whilst maintaining safety protocols in the emirate. Travellers will be required to present a negative PCR COVID-19 test result, valid for a maximum of 48 hours before departure, and undergo a PCR test upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport. Vaccinated passengers from the updated ‘Green List’ will take another PCR test on Day 6, with the day of their arrival into Abu Dhabi counting as Day 1. Unvaccinated travellers arriving from ‘Green List’ countries will, on the other hand, take a PCR test on Days 6 and 9. 

The list is regularly updated based on international developments, and the DCT has said that inclusion on the list is subject to strict criteria of health and safety protocols for travel, ensuring and prioritising the well-being of the UAE community. The authority has also clarified that the placementioned on the ‘Green List’ refer to the departure point of travellers, and not their citizenship.
