Hi, we have a family holiday (2 adults and 2 children) booked for Dubai in October but our travel agent has told us to gain entry we need to take a Covid-19 test 96 hours before we travel and have certificates that we are negative.  The price of the tests including fit to fly certificates are £150 each which takes the total up to £600 which I can not afford. The other issue is nobody 100% guarantees having the results back within that timeframe. If we do not get the results back in time we are not covered for the trip according to our travel insurance company so I am really confused on what to do. The travel company has allowed us to move the date back to may next year but the same conditions would apply then so any advice on what to do in the situation would really help me. Thank you
