Travelers should also visit the aforementioned website for detailed information on country-specific testing requirements and entry regulations.
In addition, travellers arriving at Abu Dhabi International Airport [AUH] as their end destination may be subject to further PCR screening.
Furthermore, children under the age of 12, and people with disabilities are currently exempt from this PCR test requirement.
