Israeli airline El Al will start flights on 13 December. Its number of flights depends on the day, for example, it plans one on Saturdays and three on Sundays. A return ticket will cost around $600.
To enter Israel, foreigners need:
- To fill in an online health form 24 hours before departure and to bring a print-out with them;
- To check in to the flight online on the airline’s website;
- To provide a health insurance certificate, including coverage for COVID-19.
Tourists arriving in UAE need to provide a negative COVID-19 test taken no earlier than 96 hours before departure. If you take the COVID-19 test immediately upon entry at Dubai, you need to sign an agreement that you will isolate until the test results are ready. You also need to download the DXB Smart app on an iOS or Android device.
Both in Israel and in UAE you need to observe the COVID-19 safety measures: wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth, maintain a social distance of at least two meters, and observe personal hygiene regulations.
