After borders in Dubai officially reopened to tourists earlier this week, the famous landmark lit up to send a message to tourists and international visitors.
“Welcome to Dubai,” the message said on the landmark building, and was also showcased in Arabic.

In order to ensure the health and safety of all travellers, UAE citizens and UAE residents when entering Dubai, there are many precautionary measures in place.
Similarly, before boarding your flight to Dubai ensure you have all the necessary documents needed for entering the country including a health declaration form and a negative COVID-19 test result prior to leaving your home country.
You can also opt for a PCR test once landing in Dubai, but be prepared to quarantine until you receive a negative test for COVID-19.
