Where can we travel to from Dubai without having to quarantine is the question we’re all asking ourselves. It IS possible to go places but as we know restrictions are definitely in force on many fronts. BUT travel is in our DNA so see where you can go NOW.
So now we can GO TO LONDON WITHOUT HAVING TO UNDERTAKE EXPENSIVE HOTEL QUARANTINE, but so far we still have to isolate and quarantine privately for 10 days with a possibility of early release after day 5.
So that’s a lot of expensive covid tests AND many days of leave for those who work “wasted” . I also understand it can take up to 48 hours to get your test result back after day 5 so that’s a minimum of 7 days!
So some of us are waiting till the UK recognizes our entirely genuine vaccines. BUT when and if you do get to London check out some ideas we’ve experienced below.
LONDON IDEAS AND EXPERIENCES from boutique hotels to cooking lessons and everything in between. We LOVE London!
Click on the picture to see our many London posts. Psst we’ve also been alerted to a cool new hotel to check out in London’s West End. So add The Mayfair Townhouse to your list of places to consider having a drink, meal or few sleeps at!
ARTESIAN BAR AT THE LANGHAM LONDON
We’ve just travelled to Kenya for a short break from Dubai and while the visa process has changed, there is no need to quarantine. Click to KENYA IDEAS HERE to see all our previous posts linked to countries we’ve been to to inspire you to book a trip.
KENYA IDEAS tried and tested here.
KENYA BEACH HOUSE
It’s possible to go to Kenya without having to quarantine, you just need a -ive PCR test on arrival and you have to generate a QR code via a link. The link to how you generate that code is here It’s a short 4 hour 40 minute flight from Dubai to Kenya direct on Emirates.
You do need a visa before hand so apply for an e visa on line first. Then on return you need a _ive PCR test.
SUNDOWNERS IN THE BUSH KENYA
NOTE the terminal is now in a NEW PLACE at Nairobi airport. Check you get dropped at the right place. Covid tests are quite easily available in Nairobi, the cost is around US $65.00 or so.
Well California Ideas here tried by us.
It’s possible for us to fly directly to the States from Dubai. Click for CALIFORNIA ITINERARY for you to copy. It’s a long flight but you do just get on and get off!
(16 hours from here to California) And I understand if you spend 10 days there you can now also go to London from there.
WHERE CAN WE GO IN EUROPE ? European Trips we’ve been on check the itineraries here.
I think you can go many countries in Europe from Dubai without having to quarantine, BUT check which countires are or would be green if you need to go on to the UK. See where we recommend in
SPAIN, NORWAY, ITALY, THE CZECH REPUBLIK, BUDAPEST and TURKEY.
You can travel to Spain from Dubai without having to quarantine. We LOVED Barcelona and our foodie adventures in San Sebastian. The H10 hotel group has a 25% discount on 2 of our favourite hotels at the moment.
IN THE MOOD FOR BARCELONA
We loved our long weekend in Prague, click the link to read about what we did and where we stayed. It’s a very quick flight from Dubai.
This is an expensive destination but if it’s clean air and fabulous scenery you’re after then this is the place!
FABULOUS FJORDS IN NORWAY
A really easy flight, fabulous food, good infrastructure and very friendly vibes, choose what kind of holiday you want in Italy.
A really good short trip from Dubai, fabulous architecture and a very walkable city. Lot’s of history too.
SHORT BREAK IN BUDAPEST
Well we’ve put this into Europe but know it can be classed as Asia as well, we went to Istanbul, Bodrum and Cesme, I’d do that whole trip again if I could. We LOVED the Maรงakizi hotel but there is a Mandarin Oriental in Bodrum too!
TURKEY TRIP
As always CHECK ALL RESTRICTION AND TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BOOK ANY TICKETS! We were almost off to Poland BUT we’re not clear as to whether they accept our vaccines or not, please let me know if you have any updated information on this. Poland seems like an amazing place to visit, great value too!
these trip routes are surely helpful and must be followed to avoid any situation for safe passage to Dubai.
