Kosher Programs and Vacations in Dubai
Dubai has become a popular kosher vacation destination over the past few years. There are Passover programs organized for Pesach 2023. There were successful Shavuot programs and Sukkot programs in Dubai last year. There are several operators offering vacations and programs with kosher food in Dubai.
However, for the independent kosher travelers we strongly recommend to plan and make arrangements in advance; the demand for kosher food in Dubai is very high and the current services are not able the serve all travelers seeking kosher food, definitely not for spontaneous orders or bookings. Also changing restrictions due to Covid-19 measures are forcing Kosher establishments to plan in advance and make them unavailable for spontaneous kosher bite. So please make sure to reserve your kosher meals or seats in advance!
