Questions About Dubai Travel Bag

Paul asks…

Things I cant travel to Dubai with?

Hello everyone,
What are the things I can't take along with me to Dubai?
Do they check peoples bags at the airport?
I'm hoping to have a couple of noodles, fried meat, raw rice and a couple of other things.
I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me a couple of things that are not allowed to be taken into Dubai.
Thanks for your anticipated reply.

There is only one thing which you need to check - in a lot of countries painkillers containing codeine may be purchased over the counter. They count as illegal drugs in Dubai. On the other hand you can buy all the arthritis and rheumatism 'rubs' the EU banned because they contained camphor, and the French thought daft kids might eat the Tiger Balm with a spoon.

James asks…

Motels in Egypt have good security?

I would be going on a 3 weeks tour to Egypt and Dubai.
All travel arrangements taken care by my friend.

My question is, since I would be staying in a few motels during my travel. I am worried for the security of my luggages/travel sack (have yet to decide should I use a luggage bag or travel sack for this trip.)
Cos I couldn't possibly lug them during sightseeing and would have to leave them in the motels.
How secured would my stuff be?

admin answers:

It depends on where you stay. I would ask the motel manager about this. When I went there last summer, my things were all there and I had no problems. You should, however, remember that Egypt is not America, and that there is a high possibility of having your things stolen. Do not bring anything that you won't need on your tour ,especialy any unneccesary technology. Also, leave your valuables, such as jewelry and overly expensive outfits and accesories at home. Take with you only the basics (clothes, hygenical products, etc). Keep your passport and all other personal information with you at all times. You'd have lots of problems if you lose anything like that.

If the motels have lockers for you to leave your things in, make use of them. Make sure you ask. That is where I left my stuff and as I already said, it was all fine. If you want to be extra careful, see if you can hide your luggage in a place where theives would not look in case they decide to break in.

Bottom Line: The most important thing to do is to refrain from taking valuable items along. Basics only. Remember, no one would really care how you look on your tour.


Be Careful, and Good Luck!

Richard asks…

Are Americans allowed to travel to United Arab Emirates on pleasure?

I've learned about the new entertainment city of Dubai, and I am truly impressed. Over 3 Billion square feet, or 107 square miles (says one source) to keep you entertained for YEARS. They will have Dubai-land, which will be twice the size of Disney World, and just entertainment after entertainment. I am wondering if it's legal for American's to travel there for vacation; I am aware that we can go on a work visa. I haven't packed my bags yet; this is still a hypothetical question for me.

admin answers:

All these projects Dubailand etc are in the pipeline, still at present Dubai has a lot to offer in terms of entertainment. A large number of American/ European traveller/tourists do come to the UAE. There are discos, bars and a lot of fun. You need to be careful and observe cetrain customs while here which is not a big problem.
