What can you bring to the Emirates

The UAE can be proud of the high level of security and increased comfort. Residents of the country comply with all rules and laws, do not forget about prayer, real estate agencies of the United Arab Emirates work in accordance with standards, and the police control compliance with all rules.

Despite the harsh law, passengers are allowed to bring the following items into Dubai without paying customs duties: The number of cigarettes must not exceed (400) cigarettes, (50) cigars, (500) grams of tobacco (loose mixture or compressed for pipes), compressed tobacco for smoking. If a tourist does not know how many cigarettes can be brought into the United Arab Emirates, he will face problems and a violation of the law, since exceeding the above implies a fine.

When worrying about how much alcohol you can bring into the Emirates, it is important to know that the amount of alcoholic beverages and beer should not exceed 4 liters of alcoholic beverages or 2 boxes of beer (each of 24 cans, no more than 355 ml per can or its equivalent).
