It’s official! You can now take children who are under 12 years of age shopping in the capital’s malls, retail shops and restaurants.

The original age restrictions that prevented people 12 and under and those aged 60 and over was originally put in place to help stem the spread of COVID-19.

 

The upper age limit is now 70.

The lifting of the age restrictions applies across the entire UAE, as well as here in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
