7. Dubai: The Sun, Sand, and Surf in the city awaits you

Dubai is ready to open its door for international visitors and tourists from the 7th of July with new travel guidelines and health and safety standards.

The city is ready to welcome you and has regained its vibrant energy following the reopening of attractions, facilities, and amenities including public and hotel beaches, shopping malls, restaurants, swimming pools, water parks, and golf courses, as well as the resumption of popular activities like water sports and camping. To help you with a glance, Dubai Tourism has developed a range of videos to showcase some of the most popular attractions which are ready to welcome you and you are sure to enjoy!

If you are planning your trip to Dubai, you will be guided by new travel protocols which explain clear steps to ensure a safe trip: Ahead of landing in Dubai, you must take a PCR test up to four days (96 hours) prior to your date of travel, or if this has not been done, a PCR test will be carried out upon arrival at Dubai airports. In addition to this, you are encouraged to check your country’s travel advisory for guidance on outbound trips, and to ensure the safety of all, a complete health declaration form will be required as well as travel insurance covering COVID-19.

Issam Kazim, CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DCTCM), said: “As we look forward to welcoming tourists to Dubai in July, the new travel guidelines reinforce our commitment to not only provide visitors a well-rounded destination experience but also ensure their health and safety and that of all communities within the city. We appreciate the trust that millions from around the globe have placed in us by including Dubai in their must-visit destination list each year, and want to assure our guests of Dubai’s operational readiness to ensure their well-being, when it is deemed safe for them to visit.”

The remarkable development and momentum of Dubai’s tourism sector over the past decade and its ambitious plans for the future – which remain undiminished despite the recent challenges – will ensure the city’s continued success as one of the world’s most popular destinations, as it continues to evolve and pioneer the new normal for the future of global tourism.
