The meeting point has been updated on the drive post as well as the calendar. See you on Friday

[ASAD.]

thanks @Srikumar. Would anyone know the current rules on traveling from dubai to Abudhabi? i know that PCR is not required but do i need to have a green pass on Al Hosn? do they scan? how much time does it take at the checkpoint? etc. 

[Srikumar]

You don't need to do a PCR, they don't even check the Al Hosnnapp. You need to drive to the checkpoint, and they will scan your forehead with their mobile device. Once clear you are free to cross the checkpost. If not conclusive, you will be asked to do an Antigen test which will take about 20 mins.
