What are the medical requirements for entry into Dubai?

There are no specific medical requirements for most tourists entering Dubai. However, it is recommended to have standard vaccinations such as those for hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio. At the time of my trip, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was necessary to provide a negative PCR test taken no earlier than 72 hours prior to departure. I advise checking the current requirements on the official website of the UAE Ministry of Health or with your airline in advance. It is also helpful to have health insurance that covers potential medical expenses abroad.
