For Israeli passport holders that need visas you can apply by WhatsApp bot. It’s pretty incredible how easy it is and it’s the fastest way to get a visa you get the visa via PDF directly to the WhatsApp conversation.

besides for Al Maha, has anybody have any other suggestions for points resorts in the desert?

have plenty of UR (for Hayat) but just a Smattering of Hilton and Marriot points, so Hayat is a + (Though I have some time so there not of the table)

Kosher food in the hotel is also a + but not necessary.(though I'm not sure any of the desert resorts have Kosher food, couldn't find any at least)

TIA
