ABU DHABI ENTRY RULES FOR COVID

Abu Dhabi remains the safe, awe-inspiring and culturally rich destination you
last visited. We are now open to all travellers and ready to welcome you. Find
out about the procedures to keep you safe while travelling to and across our
emirate.






NO TEST TO FLY TO ABU DHABI IF YOU’RE FULLY VACCINATED

As of 26 February 2022, you no longer need a test before you fly to Abu Dhabi if
you are fully vaccinated.

If you are not fully vaccinated, you must present a negative PCR test result
taken within 48 hours, or a COVID-19 recovery certificate. Your recovery
certificate must be dated within 30 days of departure and have a QR code.
Children under 12 are exempt.

It is now no longer mandatory to take a PCR test upon arrival in Abu Dhabi
International Airport. However, the testing facility remains at the airport for
any visitors that wish to take a PCR test to activate their Green Pass in Al
Hosn app and facilitate access to Abu Dhabi's public places and tourist
attractions. The cost of this PCR test is AED 40.

There is no need to re-test whilst in Abu Dhabi.

Safe environment


ENTRY TO PUBLIC PLACES



Entry to most public places and attractions in Abu Dhabi is only allowed for
those who have ‘Green’ status on the Al Hosn app, which requires following the
approved testing requirements:

 * Vaccinated travellers must receive a negative PCR test result every 14 days
   to maintain ‘Green’ status.
 * UAE residents need to take a timely vaccine booster shot to maintain 'Green'
   status on the Al Hosn app. This requirement does NOT apply to tourists.
 * Visitors with an official vaccine exemption must receive a negative PCR test
   result every 7 days to maintain ‘Green’ status.
 * Anyone who is unvaccinated must take a PCR test every 48 hours to maintain
   'Green' status on the Al Hosn app.
 * Children aged under 12 years automatically receive ‘Green’ status without the
   need to be vaccinated or to take a PCR test.
 * Children aged 12 to 15 years do not need to be vaccinated but do need to take
   a PCR test to receive 'Green' status on the Al Hosn app.





There are clear guidelines in place for access to the majority of public places
in Abu Dhabi - these include shopping centres, restaurants and cafes; other
retail outlets including those not in shopping centres; gyms and recreational
facilities; health clubs and resorts; museums and cultural centres; universities
and institutes; theme parks; and cinemas.

To gain access to the specified public places, individuals will need to present
the Al Hosn app to show their ‘Green’ status.

Individuals without the Al Hosn app can alternatively present proof of full
vaccination via either a full vaccination certificate from their home country or
by showing full vaccination status in their home country mobile app, as well as
a negative PCR test result within the last 14 days.

Accessibility StatementCompliance status

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone
and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the broadest
possible audience, regardless of ability.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web
Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA
level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people
with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us
ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor
impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as
accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that
allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user
interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the
background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application
remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for
screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by
individuals with motor impairments.

If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet
Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind
users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s
functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they
immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can
browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of
the most important screen-reader requirements:

 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s
    components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when
    updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with
    meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide
    accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons,
    search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs;
    element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. 
    
    Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It
    provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based
    description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not
    described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR
    (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader
    adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard
    combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn
    the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
    
    These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS,
    NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack.
    
    
 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the
    website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the
    website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the
    website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow
    keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key,
    navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill
    them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.
    
    Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any
    time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating
    with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by
    moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing
    the focus to drift outside.
    
    Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F”
    (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

   jump to specific elements.

Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments
 1. Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its
    family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as
    light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color
    schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring
    options.
 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click
    of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs,
    and CSS flashing transitions.
 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such
    as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered
    elements only.
 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other
    issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the
    entire website instantly.
 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and
    Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of
    phrases, initials, slang, and others.
 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a
    printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

Assistive technology and browser compatibility

We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so
our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as
possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major
systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google
Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA
(screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users.

Notes, comments, and feedback

Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their
needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are
in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological
solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our
accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and
developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal
level of accessibility following technological advancements. If you wish to
contact the website’s owner, please use the website's form
