With the recent peace deal between Israel and the UAE, Dubai, and the entire UAE, is suddenly an exciting new travel destination (post-COVID).
Filled with luxurious hotels, unimaginable attractions, and minutes away from the breathtaking Arabian Desert, Dubai is sure to become a popular vacation spot within the Jewish community.
Direct flights from Israel are in the works and direct flights depart NYC for Dubai once a day, and the flight clocks in at 12hrs 45 mins – surely manageable for those who are used to flying to Israel. Once direct flights from TLV-DXB start, it will shorten what was once a 10.5 hour trip on multiple flights to about a 3 hour direct flight!
