Is the UAE a popular Jewish vacation spot? It's close!

Well, since religion isn't stamped on a passport, Jews come and go freely in the UAE. How is one to know whether or not you are Jewish? A friend of mine worked for a US-based autism school owned by a Jewish dude teaching one of the royal family's autistic kids. The Jewish owner came out to the UAE twice a year. He's an American citizen, like anyone else, who happens to be Jewish. Nobody cared.

As for Israelis, I don't even know the story. Perhaps they would be denied entrance since (I think) the UAE doesn't recognize Israel? Probably. Never been to Israel, so for me it's a non-issue.
