@Chaitanya D hope you have registered for the test. 

Yes @Srikumar, I have registered for the test between 3.30 to 4 am on 2nd Oct ( Mahatma Gandhi's birthday)

Have few queries , wonder if you can advise

1. Do kids travelling with us need to do the test? and do we have to book appointment for them?

2. What happens if one turns positive, of course he will be denied entry to Abu Dhabi but does he have to go into quarantine in Dubai?

Thanks in advance

1. There was an article a couple of months ago that kids below the age of 12 don't need to take the COVID test to enter Abu Dhabi. But the rules might have changed so I am not sure.

2. We are all doing drives because there are no symptoms, but in case the test is positive and you are asymptomatic I presume you will most probably have to be in quarantine in Dubai. That's why they say sometimes ignorance is bliss. 😁

@Asif Hussain i couldn't get the slot. Will do the test on Oct 1st from Sharjah Golf Club and will head to Abu Dhabi same day.

@Nivin as Asif bhai mentioned if the Ghantoot is not available on the day of the drive, try booking through the SEHA app. I saw this afternoon and slots are available in Dubai on Sept 30th afternoon. The test can be done done max 48 hours prior to entry in Abu Dhabi.

@Srikumar Thank you its done. Sharjah is much faster than Dubai if you go with appointment. Been there couple of times.
