Russia has been taken off Abu Dhabi's 'Green List'.

This means travellers from the country will have to quarantine on arrival in Abu Dhabi.

The changes announced by the Department of Culture and Tourism, have already come into effect.

Currently the Green List has 27 countries and territories from where travellers can fly to Abu Dhabi without the need to quarantine.

However, they will have to comply with the COVID-19 PCR testing requirements after arriving in the emirate.

Meanwhile, it is mandatory for passengers arriving from a country that is not on the Green List or not included in a vaccine corridor with the UAE to quarantine as part of Abu Dhabi's travel protocols.
