Dubai in the UAE was a big holiday destination for Brits earlier this year when many other countries were disallowing holidays and leisurely travel to their cities. However, Dubai offered an escape to UK holidaymakers, even if only for a brief time before international travel was banned again.

However, it’s good news again for UK citizens wanting to escape the hectic British weather this year, as United Arab Emirates (UAE) is added to the country’s amber list.

What does the UK amber list mean for UAE?

UAE was added onto the UK’s amber list on the 8th of August, meaning if you are double vaccinated, you can visit Dubai and the other cities in the UAE without having to quarantine on your return. The quarantine restrictions and uncertainty about countries moving lists have been off-putting travellers from flying internationally. However, with incentives alongside vaccination, it’s likely international travel will pick up again over the coming year.

The rules on the amber list are more extensive than those on the green. Before arrival back in the UK from an amber country, travellers must complete a passenger locator form, provide proof of a negative coronavirus test, quarantine if the second vaccination dose hasn’t been received, book a private COVID test before arrival and take a PCR test on the eighth day of quarantine.

On the other hand, UK travellers arriving in the UAE must return a negative coronavirus PCR test three days before the flight. If they test positive upon arrival, then they must isolate for ten days in arranged accommodation. Dubai Health Staff will be expecting health declaration and quarantine forms upon arrival also.
