Our guide

Abu Dhabi, the UAE's capital, is reachable via direct flight from Israel and offers a blend of skyscrapers, culture and desert. Sababa restaurant, a stall in the Mushrif Mall food court, serves kosher Mediterranean food under the supervision of Rabbi Levi Duchman and the Emirates Agency for Kosher Certification. It's best to coordinate in advance via WhatsApp.

Our recommendations

  • Coordinate in advance via WhatsApp, especially around peak hours and holiday evenings

Stay in the kosher area of Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Sababa (kosher restaurant listed on the site, at Mushrif Mall) is the anchor - book somewhere near it.

To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
