Morocco has just been re-admitted to the “green list” of countries from which passengers will not have to undergo quarantine upon arrival in Abu Dhabi, starting from January, said the Emirati Department of Culture and Tourism.
“Travelers will be required to show a negative COVID-19 PCR test result valid for up to 48 hours prior to departure, and undergo an additional PCR test upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport,” said the statement.
Vaccinated passengers from newly updated “Green List” countries will undergo another PCR test on the 6th day upon arrival, while unvaccinated travelers from countries on the Green List will have to pass PCR tests on the sixth and ninth day, according to the department.
UAE withdrew Morocco from the green list at the end of December, amid the emergence of the highly contagious variant Omicron.
Meanwhile, the kingdom suspended, in November, all passenger flights to the country, excluding repartition flights from UAE, Turkey, and Portugal.
The emergence of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, has caused confusion in travel worldwide, as governments fear that Omicron, with its ambiguous nature, may trigger a worldwide lockdown era again, as infections now are skyrocketing.
