As soon as you leave Abu Dhabi, then Abu Dhabi quarantine rules no longer apply. That said, even if you landed in Dubai,
if you are tested on arrival, then you're supposed to stay in your room until you get your results. This may not be such an issue if the news article I read yesterday was correct that AUH was now doing 90-minute PCR tests for arrival.

Thanks. Where were you separated into Abu Dhabi-bound and Dubai-bound groups? Was it after Customs as indicated in the data point above? Also, did anyone look at any documentation before letting you join the Dubai group? Cheers
