However, I suppose getting re-tested in Dubai is good practice and isn't the end of the world.
They shouldn't really require it but good to know that this helped.
It’s definitely not a requirement. He probably would have boarded. Abu Dhabi is just a different place. Perhaps I have a bias as a Dubai resident.
You can get test done in a handful of hours at Emirates Specialty Hospital. Express service costs AED500 (no queuing, someone walks you through, and results in 3-5 hours guaranteed). Otherwise if you have more time the normal
services work fine too.
