Israel Ministry of Tourism opens skies to all travellers from the UAE – ArabianBusiness

Israel has opened its skies to all travellers residing in the UAE, permitting vaccinated and unvaccinated tourists of all ages to enter Israel after presenting a negative PCR test before departure and after arriving in Israel, as of 1 March 2022.

The latest announcement, which was made by the Israel Ministry of Tourism at the Expo 2020 Israel Pavilion, follows a recent agreement between the UAE and Israel extending visa-free entry to all UAE nationals. Prior to 1 March, Israel borders were closed to tourists from the UAE.

The new travel corridor between Israel and the UAE aims to strengthen bilateral ties whilst building more efficient services to ease travel between both countries.
