On the flip side, if you visit Israel to work with their burgeoning tech sector, once you have that Israel stamp on your passport, they won't let you into Saudi Arabia. That's where you have to do a "whoops, lost my passport, I need an emergency replacement" maneuver. Fortunately, I don't work in the energy sector, or that could get annoying fast.
