Abu Dhabi has updated its "green list" of countries and destinations from which travellers can enter the emirate without the need to quarantine on arrival.
Saudi Arabia and Mongolia have been removed from the list of countries.
Travellers from "green" destinations do not need to isolate once they receive a negative test result. Anyone flying into Abu Dhabi from any country not on the list must self-isolate for 10 days.
Originally published in December, the list is updated regularly, with the most recent change taking place on Tuesday.

No new countries were added to the list as part of the most recent update.

Saudi Arabia travel restrictions
In response to the new strain of the coronavirus, Saudi Arabia has tightened border controls.
Flying to the kingdom is temporarily suspended for passengers coming from the UAE, US, Argentina, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Pakistan, Brazil, Portugal, United Kingdom, Turkey, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Lebanon, Egypt, India and Japan.
