DUBAI: Israeli passport holders can now obtain tourist entry visas to the UAE through airlines and travel and tourism offices, state news agency WAM has reported.
The country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation announced the new rule, following the bilateral cooperation between the UAE and Israel.
The two countries earlier signed the historic Abraham Accords, which include provisions to facilitate travel for Emirati and Israeli citizens until the UAE’s constitutional ratification of the mutual visa waiver agreement.
The Abraham Accords was signed in September to “enhance stability and security in the region.”
Both countries have since discussed areas of cooperation including in key sectors such as logistics, culture, education, science, and tourism.
