    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    Everything was in my backpack just taken apart that I brought on the plane. I stayed at ananatara and gili... ananatara didn't have anything online about drones but after my first flight, security told me no drones. They did wait till i finish and landed before telling me. As for even...

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    You won't have any issues, i flew emirates and stayed in Dubai for a few days then went to Maldives... even bought a mavic battery in Dubai.

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    FYI... I had zero issues with customs at Dubai airport both in and out. I did take the propellers off the mavic, not sure if that made a difference but I wasn't stopped or asked about it.

    UAE and Dubai rules and regulations

    How did this go? I'm visiting Dubai as a pit stop for a few days next week with my mavic, I have no intentions of flying but I am reading drones with cameras are illegal in Dubai. I'm worried about issues with customs

    5000 USD asked for Mavic on ebay

    Just remember there are a lot of fake bidders on eBay ... you can tell by the 0 reviews and just joined status .. so a lot of these inflated auctions didn't actually sell even tho it's marked as completed

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    Thanks for the info. Did customs check you upon entering and exiting? Or just entering? Maldives is where I want to use it as well. Hopefully I get a nice customs person. Maybe if I take the propellers off of the drone, they won't even notice it's a drone ... lol Without the propellers, you...

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    Thanks!! Now I'm worried. I emailed the inspector guy from the link above and he said I do not need a license or permit if I am not flying but he also said to check with customs as they might confiscate it. I tried to register it and pay for the permit just in case but it looks like you have...

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    Thanks. I emailed that contact. Really hope they allow me in and out. I wonder if they even scan again when entering the country ? Some countries don't scan again upon entering.

    Anyone familiar with drone rules in Dubai?

    i will be traveling to Dubai as a pit stop with my drone, I don't plan on flying it in Dubai but it will be in my bag when I cross customs. Will I have a problem? I read that it is illegal to have a camera on a drone, if I don't actually fly it, will they give me a hard time? Anyone have real...

    Where to order from?

    I tried doing that within 1 min of ordering ... they said no on the phone ... I asked them to escalate and they said they will escalate to the senior rep and they will have to contact dji directly to cancel ... never heard back from them ... at this point whatever, guess my local Apple Store...
