For many holidaymakers, the global pandemic has taken some of the fun out of travel and replaced it with uneasy nervousness. With tests and paperwork now essential for most journeys, one Dubai resort has devised a stress-free option.
Atlantis, The Palm is offering international travellers who stay five nights or more, free COVID-19 PCR testing for all booking made until December 18 2020.
The iconic resort has partnered with one of the emirate’s leading hospitals to be able to conduct the tests in the hotel. This means you can make the use of all the facilities without having to take any of your precious holiday time to visit a hospital or clinic.
All passengers travelling back from Dubai to UK, Europe and other mandated destinations are now required to take a COVID-19 PCR test no more than 96 hours before departure and present the printed test result certificate at check-in. Children under the age of 12 and passengers who have a moderate or severe disability are exempt from this test.
However, those staying at Atlantis, The Palm can rest assured that the team will make all the necessary arrangements for a seamless and safe departure with authorised test results returned within 24 hours.
The latest initiative also aligns itself with Emirates Airlines free medical cover for COVID-19-related expenses, designed to boost people’s confidence to travel during the pandemic.
