Will they be allowed into the UAE with a passport stamp on a visit to Israel?

Yes, they will. In the past few years, passport control at airports in the United Arab Emirates has stopped checking passports for signs of visiting the state of Israel.

Recall that earlier the presence of Israeli stamps in the passport could lead to a refusal to issue a visa to some Muslim countries (including the UAE), as well as a refusal to enter some countries - border guards carefully studied the passport during passport control. In the United Arab Emirates, positioning itself as a world-class tourism destination, this practice was abandoned several years ago.

By the way, if you passed the Israeli border at the airport, then there are no marks on visiting the country there. Instead, they issue special personal paper certificates (they are also migration cards) with a barcode that must be stored during the entire period of stay in Israel.

At the exit / entrance to Israel through land border crossings, such as, for example, the Yitzhak Rabin checkpoint and the Jordan River checkpoint, you can still put a stamp on a visit to Israel. It is not scary to cross the border of the United Arab Emirates, but problems may arise in other Muslim countries. If you do not want to see the Israel marks in your passport, try asking the Israeli border guards at the crossings for this - they usually go to the meeting.


The legislation of some states, including Russia, allows a citizen to have several foreign passports, so in order to be safe, they can use different travel documents to travel to Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
