Planning a trip to Abu Dhabi just got a lot more stress-free. Etihad Airways has launched a new initiative that provides all international visitors flying into the capital with complimentary medical travel insurance for up to 15 days. In a collaborative effort with the Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) Abu Dhabi and the national insurer Daman, this coverage is applied automatically to every qualifying ticket purchased between July and December 2026. Travelers don’t need to fill out any extra forms; whether you are visiting for a short getaway or taking advantage of the airline’s popular stopover program, you are automatically covered from the moment you land.

This partnership is designed to streamline the travel experience, allowing tourists to focus on enjoying their vacation rather than worrying about administrative hurdles. By integrating reliable medical protection directly into the booking process, Etihad and the DCT are setting a new standard for visitor care in the region. Leadership from all involved organizations highlighted that this move is a testament to Abu Dhabi’s commitment to hospitality, ensuring that guests feel safe, valued, and well-supported throughout their stay in the emirate.
