🇦🇪 Does an Emirati need a visa for Israel 🇮🇱?

What this means for your trip

An ETA (electronic travel authorisation) is not a visa: it is an online pre-screening that airlines check before boarding.

It is normally approved within minutes to a few days; apply before you book non-refundable travel.

Your passport should normally be valid for at least six months beyond your planned departure date and have blank pages for stamps; many countries apply this rule.

Plugs and voltage

Some of your plugs fit (C); for type G plugs bring a travel adapter for Israel's sockets (C, D, H, M). Mains voltage differs (Israel: 230 V; the United Arab Emirates: 220 V): most phone and laptop chargers accept 100–240 V, but single-voltage devices such as some hair dryers need a converter.
