Celebrating Hanukkah, the Judaic Festival of Light, this year saw the first menorahs lit in public displays in the United Arab Emirates.
It is an emblem of the good faith generated by the 15th September signing of the Abraham Accords between Israel and the UAE.
Normalising diplomatic relations has nurtured greater acceptance between Israeli and Emirati citizens.
Often credited as a time when miracles occur, for Rabbi Marc Schneier from the US, this Hanukkah on the Gulf is divine providence.
To Israeli Businessman Gil Gurevitch, it symbolises the wider aspirations for a mixing of cultures.
The Dubai hotel has allocated 50 rooms, a sabbath elevator and kosher restaurant for Gurevitch's guests, enabling them to celebrate the Sabbath in holiday style.
Adding a finishing touch, Gurevitch has even graced every room with its own mezuzah, customarily placed at the doorposts of Jewish residences, to give the rooms a feeling of home.
Rabbi Schneier reflected on the achievement that this Hanukkah represents for Israeli and Emirati communities.
