The United Arab Emirates is one of the five favorite destinations for Israeli tourists

Israeli driving licenses are now being officially recognized by the United Arab Emirates, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Tuesday ahead of Passover, when many visitors are expected for the holiday period.

This decision follows a memorandum of understanding signed between Israel and the United Arab Emirates to recognize driving licenses for tourists and long-term residents.

In addition, it will also facilitate the conversion of driver's licenses. 

"Especially in the run-up to Passover, this decision on mutual recognition of driving licenses will greatly facilitate the task of tourists, save bureaucracy and constitute further proof of the warm relations between the countries," Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said in a statement.
