Hi Maureen, the situation could well change still by November, but at present, the USA is on the Abu Dhabi green list which should mean you can cross the border on a day trip if you provide a valid negative covid test result. There are many hospitals and clinics across Dubai that offer this service for around 65-150 AED (try these, for example, https://www.mediclinic.ae/en/corporate/covid-19/covid-19-testing.html or https://www.medcare.ae/en/covid-19-test-at-medcare-clinics-and-hospitals.html), also the government-run SEHA clinics https://www.seha.ae/screening-locations/. Good luck, we hope the situation improves with more open borders by November, it’s the perfect time to be here.
