Dubai advice
Please Mods if this is in the wrong forum, could you move it?
A friend of mine is wanting to take a party of (well behaved) young people to Dubai by air. They have been warned about Dubai's strict laws, but are pretty law abiding people anyway.
He's read stories about people being arrested going through Dubai airport customs for having poppy seeds from a bread bun in their pocket or prescription drugs or picking up a cigarette with cannabis in their shoe tread. He doesn't know if these stories are exagerated or not.
He's worrying his party innocently taking or picking up something they should not.
It seems a bit unlikely to me - but what are your opinions?
