Dubai holidays are back on the cards for Brits with the UAE currently open to UK holidaymakers, not to mention that it's currently on the amber list.
Previously, the UAE was in the red category placing destinations such as Dubai on the quarantine list, with returning Brits having to stay in quarantine hotels in the UK.
So, do you have to quarantine from Dubai now?
In short no, provided you're fully vaccinated. In August the UAE was moved to the amber list. This means any Brits returning to the UK will need to take a pre-departure test and two PCR tests on days two and eight of being back. Meanwhile, adults who are not fully vaccinated against Covid will be required to self-isolate at home for 10 days.
It is worth noting that England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own red, amber and green lists. These have usually been nearly identical, but it's worth checking the rules from your departure point as travel restrictions can change quickly during the pandemic.
As for the entry requirements to visit Dubai?
According to the Emirates website, if you're travelling to Dubai from the UK you'll need to have a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before departure.
The airline explains: "All passengers travelling to Dubai from the UK must hold a negative COVID‑19 PCR test certificate for a test taken no more than 72 hours before departure and the certificate must be a Reverse Transcription‑Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT‑PCR) test. Note that NHS Covid Test certificates are not accepted for travel from the United Kingdom."
Visitors will also need to complete a health declaration form and a quarantine form, although visitors to Dubai will not be required to quarantine. (It's worth noting that you may be required to take a PCR test on arrival in which case you may be asked to self-isolate until the result is confirmed).
