The United Arab Emirates have confirmed they are easing covid travel rules for UK holidaymakers.
From now on, children can enter Dubai more easily as the city has scrapped the requirement for those aged between 13 and 16 years who are unvaccinated to take a PCR test to enter.
Up until now, children under 12 were exempt from testing rules, but unvaccinated children aged between 13 and 16 were required to take a test if they did not have proof of recovery from Covid.

As the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development stated: “Travellers to the UAE do not need to take a Covid PCR test before they travel if they are fully vaccinated or: they hold a Covid recovery certificate with a QR code dated within 30 days of departure; they are under 16 years of age for arrivals in Abu Dhabi and Dubai; they have severe disabilities.”
Anyone who does not fall into those categories must take a PCR test within 48 hours before departure.
