Dubai and Abu Dhabi: a week in the Emirates
Our kosher tour of Dubai and Abu Dhabi is seven days based in Dubai with the group and a veteran English-speaking guide. The group stays in one five-star hotel for the week, so you unpack once.
Dubai
Old Dubai along the Creek and the lanes of Al Fahidi, a desert safari with dinner at a Bedouin camp, the Museum of the Future, and a sunset yacht cruise in Dubai Marina. Shabbat is kept with the group in Dubai, with an evening at Global Village after Havdalah.
Abu Dhabi
A kosher tour of Abu Dhabi in a day: the Presidential Palace, a drive along the Corniche, then the Louvre Abu Dhabi or the Abrahamic Family House, where a synagogue stands beside a mosque and a church, and last the marble domes of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. Dinner is at The Kosher Place in Abu Dhabi.
Every meal is Glatt Mehadrin: breakfast and dinner in the hotel dining room, packed lunches on touring days, and a minyan is arranged three times a day. The hotel's name is to be announced.

Dubai before: November 2022, Chanukah 2022 and April 2023
We have taken guests to Dubai before, including over Chanukah in 2022.
“We did not have to plan any meals, any hotel arrangements or worry about where to catch a minyan or light chanukah candles,” Tziporah and Eric wrote from Chicago afterward. More from those tours is on the guest reviews page.
