Last year we had a discussion about economy here, and he mentioned it's not easy for an Israeli citizen to travel to UAE

@JackJohansson still early and not sure what are the practical imidiate changes... for example it was possible to travel there if you had some buissness contact which was important enough, and tennis players played in the tournament that took place there
so now it should become easier but now we are in corona era :( so not supper practical
guess once flights will resume shortening the air travel to china will be one of the major economic benefits of this. Right now you need to fly ethupian via adiss ababa or fly to HK/singaphor and have a connection there. Probably can fly via russia as well but does sond like a popular way
except for flights UAE and israel are probably not big enough to have a direct mutual civilian benefit from this.
was in the middle of the desert doing a meteorite spootting (which was amazing) so the whole thing flow over my head. only now catching up with it

@MarkKaplun It's at least a good start, I guess. Hoping that more countries will join soon
There's a whole lot of businesses in UAE, especially in civil engineering, so I hope it brings up a lot of opportunities
@MarkKaplun I don't need to go to the middle of a desert, this whole place is a huge desert
With some u know, palm trees here and there.

@JackJohansson so did you watch it? here you can get some clouds even in the summer, something that raely happens in the desert, but the bigger thing is light pollution. Only when I was there I realized how many stars I didn't see even when I was out of the cities.
