You have 72h to enter Abu Dhabi from the moment you get the negative result (dpi or PCR)

My suggestion would be not to leave it for the border or day before, do it Wednesday afternoon.

Dpi via SEHA app has worked well for me several times, you get the result on the spot so if any problem you still have Thursday to try to resolve so you don’t miss the drive.

Same here.
I use SEHA Centers when I need. Results to PCR takes 1 day or less to reflect on the app. Since you will need to cross boarder early morning, I suggest you take the test on Wed.

No need for Jerrycan. But is good to reserve 15min to fill the tank early morning near the meeting point.

@presa ,

Can you suggest some camping spot :z_z_Z: , near the start point.

I am planning to camp there over night, as it will be too much travel from Ajman, to be on time.

Thanks
