DETAILS

Teens will travel alongside Jewish teens from around the world on International Leadership Seminar in Israel (ILSI), our premier three-week Israel experience for BBYO members. They’ll dive in and learn about the country’s culture and diversity, having high-level discussions about Israel’s complex existence as a democracy in the Middle East.

Then, teens will extend their adventure by flying into the United Arab Emirates for an additional four days of exploration. We’re calling it the Abraham Accords Extension! Pretty neat, right?

Cross these trip highlights off your UAE bucket list:

  • Watch the Dubai Dancing Water Fountains, a choreographed water show with music and lights that will dazzle and captivate you
  • Enjoy a moment of pure bliss as you take in the stunning view of the Persian Gulf from Atlantis The Palm, a luxury hotel sitting on the edge of the world-famous Palm Island
  • Go on a shopping spree at Dubai Mall, the most visited retail and lifestyle destination in the world situated in the heart of Downtown Dubai

NOTE: The Abraham Accords Extension is only available with ILSI and our June 27, 2023 departure of Israel Journey. It is not available with any other Israel Journey departure dates.
