Hi @Gauravfirst slot availabe is 5:00 5:30.

 

[Srikumar]

@Luca Palanca Falsini based on last week's experience even though the appointments were not available for the required slot, there was no rush at Ghantoot center. As I am presuming many book the slot but don't show up.

So if I were you I would take a chance of going there half an hour early and most likely they will complete your test in advance. 

[Luca Palanca Falsini]

Thank you @Srikumar I will be there in advance for sure. 

 

[Anand Nataraj]

I see there are no available appointments in the morning.

[Gaurav]

@Luca Palanca Falsini and @Anand Nataraj you use the SEHA App to do drive in test.

https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/seha/id436297690

Appointments are easily available within 1 day span and also after testing we can hit Sweihan faster from E311 or E611 rather than E11 to reach Ghantoot.

An update from today and from the last couple of days is that in the early morning they are not checking if you have an appointment. So one can take their chances of going there directly in morning without appointment
