I can’t find recent updates about it.. Cheers, Federico Hi @Federico Galbieri that's a good question. We are following the law of the land, and during the lockdown period it was indeed not allowed to carry passengers in your vehicle if they were not living together. I think you can take a maximum of two passengers along with you (see article which dated from August 2021): Covid in UAE: New exemption for 3-person rule in vehicles - News | Khaleej Times 4 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

munkybizness Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 @Federico Galbieri Pre-drive: If you're bringing passengers for the first time on a drive, do also check with them before hand if any of them experience motion sickness. If they do, it's a good thing for them to take Dizinil (Dimenhydrinate) tablets about an hour before the drive. Also, keep plenty of water and paper bags on you just in case. During the drive: If it gets bad for your passengers, try rotating the ones feeling it the most to the front of the car and keep your windows down if you can. Saying out loud what you're doing next really helps backseat passengers - such as "climbing up to the left now", "we're going down to the right now", etc. Since passengers in the back are literally riding a roller-coaster, these aids help them orient themselves. Trust me - a 20min "safari" experience is very different from a 2+ hour off-road drive. Not scaring you but be ready for it. And if you find amazing passengers who don't feel a thing, keep them for life. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually read that article, and that’s why I asked, because it’s from Aug 2021 and I couldn’t find any updates after that.. I think I’ll stick to that article then 👍🏻 Thanks again and see you on Saturday! 1 hour ago, munkybizness said: @Federico Galbieri Pre-drive: If you're bringing passengers for the first time on a drive, do also check with them before hand if any of them experience motion sickness.

Yes, I actually wanted to bring a couple of friends, but I am having some doubts about motion sickness and undefined carpooling restrictions… my girlfriend always comes with me, she lots of fun and doesn’t feel sick 😎👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per the internet masks are to be worn inside the car if they are not from the same household.Dubai police call center can be reached on 901. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
