I have a better question for you. Forget the food. Do they ask you your religion on their immigration forms?

The immigration folks do not ask about religion. Israelis do business there, though under non-Israeli passports, but people know they are Israelis.

The OP also never stated he was Israeli, but is a religous Jew. There are plenty of Jews doing business in Dubai. One example, the 1539 room Atlantis is a joint venture between the Government of Dubai and a Jew.. http://www.atlantisthepalm.com/movie.html.

I was responding to Landing Gear's remark about whether immigration ask ones religous affiliaton. I did not see how that was relevant to the OP's question.

The tone of some of these post suggests that OP should be looking for Chabad of Qatar.

Also, The UAE's neighbor Saudi Arabia does have tourists and is preparing for an expansion of the tourism industry there.

Doesnt seem like the easiest place to travel to.
From most of what I have read, the only visas (other then for Hajj, etc) are "business visas".
