Dubai Airports has announced that starting August 16, the COVID-19 rapid test stations will be relocated to a site outside the airport at the Shabab Al Ahli Football Club, near Al Mulla Plaza, on Al Nahda Street. Until now they were available at Dubai airport departure terminals.
Passengers can make use of the service every day between 8 am and 1 pm, including Fridays and Saturdays. They have to present proof of a valid ticket or reservation in order to be eligible for the test, which is complimentary and valid for 96 hours from travel.
A ‘Fit to Travel’ sticker will be affixed to the passports of those passengers who test negative for antigens. Travellers are advised not to remove the sticker until they reach their final destination, since the sticker replaces the need for a report.
