Travelling to Abu Dhabi just became a little easier, with Etihad Airways unveiling a new complimentary medical travel insurance offering for eligible international visitors.
Providing coverage for up to 15 days during their stay in the UAE capital, the initiative is developed in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi) to enhance the visitor experience.

A New Benefit for International Visitors
Aimed to give travellers additional confidence when booking a trip to the emirate, this complimentary insurance will be available to those flying with Etihad to Abu Dhabi, covering medical emergencies during the first 15 days of their visit.
By including the benefit as part of the travel experience, visitors can enjoy added reassurance without needing to arrange separate short-term medical coverage before they arrive.
Making Travel More Seamless
From the moment visitors book their flights, the new insurance offering aims to simplify the travel journey.
For many travellers, medical coverage is an important consideration when planning a holiday abroad, and the inclusion of complimentary protection adds another layer of convenience to an Abu Dhabi getaway.
With everything from iconic cultural landmarks and family attractions to beaches, Abu Dhabi continues to position itself as a destination that offers something for every type of traveller, and this announcement complements wider efforts to attract tourists and stopover guests to the capital.
For visitors planning a break in the emirate any time soon, the added insurance benefit will provide extra peace of mind whilst discovering everything Abu Dhabi has to offer.
Key Points:
- Valid from July through December 2026 for up to 15 days.
