Israel

The area near the Central Bus Station in South Tel Aviv has become a vital and densely populated Chinatown in recent years, populated mostly by single male immigrants who work in the construction industry.

Chinese and English replace Hebrew and Arabic as the primary languages of the street, and restaurants, hotels, strip clubs and bars set up to cater to the Chinese community are prevalent. Also commonplace are storefront churches, one of the few neighborhoods in the country where evangelical Christianity is the dominant practiced religion.

At least one Palestinian suicide bomber has attacked the neighborhood in recent years, detonating on the neighborhood's primary street and killing several Chinese workers.

United Arab Emirates

A new, albeit somewhat artificial, Chinatown has been built in Dubai. [1]
