Dubai Expat Vows To Keep Up Pressure On UK Over UAE Flight Rules

The change in rules for travel between the UAE and the UK comes into effect at 4 am on Saturday, November 14. Until then, travel between Dubai and the UK, or Abu Dhabi and the UK, has been limited.

Other countries added to the UK's travel corridor list include Bahrain, Iceland, Chile, Cambodia and Laos.

Under current rules, tourists from the UK are also exempt from presenting a negative COVID-19 PCR test dated 96 hours before arrival in Dubai.

They can instead take a COVID-19 test at Dubai International Airport upon arrival.
