Jews in Dubai

@ a1

Here's an interesting article I was able to find about the Jewish community in Bahrain, in case you're interested.

Thanks!

I don't think that in any Gulf country you will be able to get kosher food except for an odd can of something made in the US that may have a kosher label - but certainly not regularly. If you can accept Halal meat you will do OK; if this is not acceptable (and I know it is not kosher) you may have an issue. Also, there is enough prejudice that most people who are Jewish keep fairly quiet about it.

Pork is closely controlled and you will never accidentally have it - any restaurant that has it always clearly marks it (most do not - only some hotels since it requires a separate kitchen). Shellfish does appear on many menus but you can probably find restaurants that do not serve it. Although Islam has no prohibition against mixing meat and milk; most of the traditional foods do not so this is fairly easy to avoid.

Hello, Me and my family are planning to move to dubai, our Marriage Certificate is from Israel, will we have problems getting the visas etc? Thanks

This is an old thread which almost no one will see.
Please start a new thread, stating on which passports you intend to get the visa, where both of you were born (as per said passports) and if you are citizens of the State of Israel. Then someone may be able to help you.

Can Jews fly on emirates or etihad

Will they be pulled to the side and told they can't fly with them and can't board the plane

Waxk - not sure if you are for real, but of course Jews can and do fly on both of them regularly (among them my husband)
