Construction on the first official synagogue in the United Arab Emirates will begin in several months.
The synagogue, slated to be completed by 2022, will be part of a multi-faith complex called the Abrahamic Family House in the capital Abu Dhabi, Reuters reported, citing the Abu Dhabi-based newspaper the National. The complex also will contain a mosque and a church.
A small group of Jews who live in the city reportedly meet for worship in a private home.
The UAE does not have diplomatic relations with Israel.
