Polyglossia loads bidi if an RTL language is defined.

Polyglossia provides logical, clean commands like \texthebrew{}, which

like set page numbers, caption names and date formats for the overall
document language. I've written bilingual documents in XeLaTeX before
polyglossia and find it a lot easier with it.
