Are you looking for a great holiday destination to beat this summer? Here is a list of Quarantine Free travel destinations for UAE residents. 

These destinations are letting tourists in right now. However, there are numbers of conditions and requirements to be fulfilled in order to acquire the necessary permission to travel overseas.

However, people traveling from Abu Dhabi must keep an eye on The Green List.

Here is the list of Quarantine Free Travel Destinations from the UAE.

Georgia

UAE travelers entering Georgia must have a COVID-19 PCR test result taken no later than 72 hours prior to arrival in Georgia or hold a COVID-19 vaccination certificate with completion of two doses.

Georgia ranges from its mountain landscapes and natural features, like Lookout Mountain and the Okefenokee Swamp, to the romantic antebellum squares of Savannah and the dazzling modern architecture of Atlanta. There are things to do in Georgia for the whole family, and for every interest.

Greece

The country serves up archaeological wonders in ancient Athens, white sugar cube-style hotels on its famed and lesser-known islands, and culinary experiences loaded with the freshest seafood, flaky pastries, local cheeses, and olive oils.

Travelers from the UAE can visit Georgia with a negative PCR test, taken within 72 hours of arrival. You’ll need to take another one on the third day of your trip, but those who have received both doses of the vaccine will not need to take either test.

Serbia

All Covid-19-related travel restrictions have been lifted in Serbia – and you no longer need to show proof of a negative PCR test to enter the country (however one is required to fly from Dubai).

Serbia’s enchanting landscapes are a true feast for the eyes and soul. Whichever region of Serbia you choose to visit, you are guaranteed to leave with lasting impressions of its magical scenery and unrivaled experiences.

Armenia

Travelers need to show a negative Covid-19 PCR test certificate issued no more than 72 hours prior to arrival. Children also need to be tested unless they are younger than 11 months old. Vaccinated travelers are exempt from testing and can instead present proof of vaccination, so long as the second dose was taken at least 14 days before arrival.

Italy

Vaccinated UAE residents, with a negative PCR test taken no longer than 48 hours before travel, can enter Italy. On arrival in Italy, all passengers must undergo a Rapid Antigen Swab Test at their own expense. Children under age 2 are exempt.

Jordan

Passengers arriving from all destinations are required to present a negative Covid-19 PCR test taken within 120 hours, and then undergo a second Covid-19 PCR test on arrival in Jordan. Passengers must pre-pay for the second Covid test, and fill in a passenger health form before traveling.

Kenya

UAE travelers have to get tested for COVID-19 not more than 48 hours before their scheduled departure. All travelers must complete an online Covid-19 health form before arriving in Kenya which will produce a QR code that you'll have to show to airport officials.

Maldives

 All visitors must have booked a stay at a registered tourist facility and have a negative COVID-19 test from no more than 96 hours before departure. The test requirement is valid for all travelers except those under the age of one.

Montenegro

 To travel to Montenegro, passengers must present a negative Covid-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours, or be able to prove they’ve been fully vaccinated at least 7 days prior to their trip, or have a positive antibodies test result issued within 30 days.

Seychelles

 The country is welcoming all visitors from any part of the world as long as they have had a negative PCR test performed within 72 hours of departure for Seychelles. Fully vaccinated travelers can enter Seychelles without quarantine. 

Turkey

  Arriving passengers from the UAE are required to present a negative PCR test taken at most 72 hours before arrival or a negative COVID-19 rapid antigen test taken at most 48 hours before arrival.

Zanzibar

 After a lax start to PCR testing, Tanzania has upped its regulations and all passengers above the age of 4 must now show negative Covid-19 PCR test results taken no more than 72 hours before flying. A Traveller Surveillance form must also be filled in at least 24 hours ahead of arrival.

Albania

Albania is welcoming citizens and residents from the UAE, who can obtain a visa on arrival for a maximum stay of 90 days. There are no PCR requirements to travel to Albania.

Costa Rica

 To travel to Costa Rica, tourists no longer need to quarantine, nor present a negative Covid-19 test. Instead, visitors are only required to complete a digital health pass 48 hours prior to traveling to Costa Rica and ensure they have adequate travel insurance covering their accommodation in case of quarantine and medical expenses due to Covid-19 illness.

Cyprus

Popular for its gorgeous beaches and spectacular archaeological sites, Cyprus is a great travel option that’s just a 4 hours flight away from Dubai. 

Cyprus is currently operating on a color-coded system for entries, and the UAE is currently on the red list. This means that you will need to obtain a Cyprus Flight Pass and must provide a negative PCR test 72 hours taken in Dubai before departure and have a second test upon arrival. But after that, you’re free to explore the best sites the country has to offer.

France

France has implemented its traffic light system categorizing countries to green, amber, and red lists. Fully vaccinated travelers from countries on the green list will be able to gain entry into France without any restrictions and quarantine measures. Non-vaccinated travelers from the green list will have to present proof of a PCR or antigen test taken within the last 72 hours before their arrival to France.

At present, the UAE is included in France’s amber list; which means fully vaccinated Emirati travelers are only required to present a PCR test taken in the last 72 hours or an antigen test taken in the last 48 hours upon their arrival in France. No quarantine will be necessary. Note that unvaccinated travelers from amber list countries will be required to self-isolate for seven days.

Russia

Russia has been gradually expanding the list of countries from which international tourism is permitted, and as of March 2021, this stands at 24. For arrivals from those approved countries, which includes the UAE, a negative Covid-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours is required.

Spain

Spain is open for vaccinated tourists, with a separate list for low-risk countries and all others grouped under blanket restrictions. The UAE doesn’t fall on the low-risk list, so blanket restrictions apply, meaning UAE residents must present a vaccination certificate that proves they’ve been fully vaccinated at least 14 days before traveling. Tourists must also complete a health control form within 48 hours before departure on spth.gob.es, or using the Spain Travel Health app.
