I just read.. announced today Monday that its not mandatory for tourists travelling from UK or Germany to DXB to have covid tests before departure "who have the option to have a covid 19 PCR test on arrival in DXB". I'm not exactly sure if that's a free or pay for test in arrival in DXB and wishful thinking maybe a free test would include a certificate so one can make quick trip and not have to go to hospital and spend time and money. In any case when I fly ex Germany the test there is free, quick result AND one receives a certificate. Anyhow step in right direction, obviously EK are watching the situation and hopefully will add to those 2 countries.
