Eruv in Dubai: worth checking ahead
We don't know of an active eruv in Dubai. For a relaxed Shabbat, check with the local Chabad house or community beforehand, and leave your key at reception.
Shabbat meals in Dubai
Most kosher restaurants close for Shabbat. Ask the Chabad house about Shabbat meals before you travel - ideally by Thursday.
Tip: book a stay within an easy walk of the Chabad house - for a relaxed meal and a short, pleasant stroll back.

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.
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.
If you complete your booking there during this same visit, we earn a small referral commission from the partner - at no extra cost to you.
