DUBAI – Israel is now open to all travelers residing in the UAE, the Israel Ministry of Tourism has announced at Expo 2020 Dubai.

Vaccinated and unvaccinated tourists of all ages can enter Israel upon presenting a negative PCR test before their flight, and after arriving in Israel.

“I hope travellers from the UAE will appreciate Israel’s unique offerings, and I believe they will want to visit more than once. We look forward to welcoming UAE tourists to witness the wonders of our country,” said Ksenia Kobiakov, New Markets Development Department Director of Israel Ministry of Tourism.
