The UAE has finally moved from the British “red list” to the “amber”

Book these flights…

After months of speculation about whether and when the UAE will be removed from the UK’s travel “red list”, there is an update. On August 8, 2021, at 7 am UAE time, the UAE will be moved to the “Amber List” of the United Kingdom.

According to the British government Red, green, and amber list rules, Passengers arriving from the UAE still need to be quarantined at home for ten days and can choose to implement “Test release’ A plan in which you can pay for private Covid-19 testing to end the quarantine early.

This is because the vaccines vaccinated in the UAE have not yet been approved by the United Kingdom (because they are now applicable to fully vaccinated foreigners from the European Union and the United States, who no longer need to be isolated after they arrive in the United Kingdom). However, all of this may change, and we will notify you in time.

according to British government, To participate in the program, you need:

1. PCR test within three days after arrival in the UK
2. Book and pay for Covid testing before travelling to the UK.
3. Enter the details of the test in the test Passenger location table.

After arriving in the UK, you must:

1. Isolate at home or where you live for 10 days
2. Test for COVID-19 on or before day 2 and on or after day 8
3. You can “Test Release” Program After 5 days of isolation

Since the United Kingdom included the UAE on its travel red list in January 2021, thousands of British nationals living in Dubai were unable to visit their family and friends in the United Kingdom. This news has ended months of heartache.

Currently, the number of flights operated by Emirates to London Heathrow, Birmingham and Manchester has decreased, but we expect these flights to increase soon to meet the needs of travelers who wish to fly to the UK.
