I was in Abu Dhabi last Sept just after the UAE had opened up to tourists after the second Covid outbreak.

We had to have tests 4 times whilst were there.
They came to our hotel and tested us for £13 per visit.
I’ve recently researched and its now around £20 now per test

We are basing ourselves in Abu Dhabi for the WC as the quality of All Inclusive Hotels are better there than Dubai and yes we’ll need to test each time we fly to Qatar but it’s not bank breaking to test out there and theyll come to our hotel.

The Ehteraz app seems to be a a potch but they had and still have similar in Abu Dhabi called Al Hosn and that didn’t work whilst we were there but everywhere we went they accepted our UK Covid Vaccination app and we took hard copies too

I wish it wasn’t in Qatar but I’m dead excited about going and willing to accept the hassle involved.
