Our guide
The entire Jewish presence in Dubai is new - the community only formed after the 2020 Abraham Accords, unlike destinations with a long Jewish history. Prayer services and Shabbat meals require advance registration for security reasons, so reach out to Chabad of the UAE rather than just showing up.
Our recommendations
- The kosher restaurant is inside the Burj Khalifa - reserve ahead given the site's popularity.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Dubai
Dubai does not have one obvious Jewish quarter. Chabad of the United Arab Emirates (Chabad house listed on the site) is the anchor - book a hotel within walking distance of it rather than picking a random part of Dubai.
To count as a booking, finish it in the same window after you click - it isn't saved for tomorrow.
