I'm not sure if it's true or not but Dubai airport uses some sort of psychologist to monitor how panicked an arrivals are to pick the ones they search real good !!! is this good enough ?doubt it.

Why anyone would mess with drugs here is beyond me. Why not spend a few hundred Euros and head over to Robby's place for some (relatively) risk free fun?

PS: What was your address again Robby? I've suddenly got some free time on my hands now ;-)


Well Captain, It's not completely risk free. Theoretically you still go to jail if they suspected you in the airport and found any narcotics in your blood stream.

For Robby: 40 days of drug celibacy before coming to Dubai. Remember that advice dude or else :P


Yeah, I don't think most people realise that one actually. But that said, I've been in and out of the UAE a dozen times and never once been searched, let alone blood tested. Make me think that it's only if you look dodgy or are coming from somewhere dodgy. [dodgy = suspect for those who aren't familiar]. Most of the time I've been on business so I'm dressed nicely and carrying a laptop, not wearing Thai fisherman pants and pushing back my dreadlocks. I have a feeling it's very subjective. Most of the time the immigration officials are busy on their mobile phones and barely even look at you.

But yes, something to think about for the heavy pot smokers. I've heard that if you smoke daily for a long time it can take up to three months for all traces to leave your blood stream. Technically, any trace = 4 years jail!!!


At any airport they don't apply whatever security constraints they have on every person and every baggage set. They sample, that's the only practical way.

The only time my baggage was searched was when they found some CDs in my bags on X-ray. Pretty lame...

It merely depends on where the passenger came from, their nationality, their looks, etc. And FYI, some people get away with it!!
