According to the UAE travel guidelines, all passengers travelling to Dubai from the UK must present a negative Covid-19 PCR test certificate for a test taken less than 72 hours prior to departure. The certificate must be a Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RTPCR) test.

It must be noted that NHS Covid Test certificates are not accepted for travel from the UK. Additionally, other test certificates such as antibody tests and home testing kits are not accepted in Dubai.

Furthermore, UAE nationals travelling to Dubai from UK are exempted from Covid-19 test requirements prior to departure but will undergo a PCR test on arrival in Dubai.
