A pyjama shoot in a UAE desert makes history

A desert fashion shoot makes history

Location: Dubai

May Tager has become the first Israeli model

to pose for a photoshoot

in the United Arab Emirates

after the two nations agreed to normalize relations

(SOUNDBITE) (English) ISRAELI MODEL, MAY TAGER, SAYING:

"It is a very historical moment and I am very excited to be the first Israeli model to shoot for an Israeli brand here and I think it is going to be like a big part of the historical moment of fashion and politics."

Easily accessible visas and direct flights there

have not yet been established for Israeli citizens

so the team arrived via Europe

on non-Israeli second passports

(SOUNDBITE) (English) HEAD PRODUCER FOR FIX PHOTO SHOOT, NOYA YOHANANOFF, SAYING:

"It was the first time in Dubai that an Israeli brand, Fix, got a permit to shoot in Dubai ever. So, when we applied for the permits, there was no even like, there was no even like option to choose Israel between the option of the companies' countries. So, we did everything we could Diva Dubai did everything they could to make it work."

The two nations are hoping the agreement will have economic benefits

and some business cooperation agreements

have already been signed
