Tens of thousands of Israelis are expected to fly to Dubai this month, culminating in the New Year celebrations.
Prices for hotels and flights at that time are relatively high and reach about $ 500 for a direct flight.
If you are willing to wait a little longer, and fly in early January, flight prices are half as low right now.
EL AL flights are sold on a variety of dates for $ 280 and Israir and Arkia flights are also sold at similar prices, although a little more expensive.
When checking the booking sites, hotel prices are also cheaper by a gap of between 10-20 percent between the New Year period and the requested month of December to early January.
Roughly speaking, saving a few hundred shekels on accommodation and another 1,500 shekels per couple for the flights, you can save about two thousand shekels if you manage to hold off until January.
Those who land in Dubai at the moment, are required to perform corona tests and wait at the hotel until receiving the answers.
Nathaniel Darshan, editor of "Israel Today" who is currently in Dubai, updates that in order to get the answers, it is necessary to download an application called COVID 19 - DXB SMART, in which the results should be updated.
In practice, there is also an application for the lab that performs the test, where the results are updated faster and so you can get a faster result.
The lab's app is called PH SCREENING, where you can enter your details and get the test results immediately after entering without waiting to sync with the airport app.
Interesting data obtained from the 90-minute company indicate that Dubai is expected to overtake Turkey as the most sought-after destination on flights from Israel as early as December.
Note the following figure, in the 90th minute it is reported that 75% of the company's bookings for December are for Dubai, the bookings are for groups with an average of 3.5 people and 90% of the Israelis' bookings are for 5-star hotels.
Following the confusion, only 30 percent of orders are placed online, the rest through sales agents.
