your'e basically restricted to the same amount that the rest of visitors to dubai are, which is about 3 bottles of spirits.

they do from time to time perform spot checks on personal belongings in shipping containers, if they found a huge stash of booze they would definitly confiscate it.

the question is really why? why bother bringing it with you when you can simply get a licence and buy it at the off-sales? dubai is not that conservative ....

understood, just wondering what to do with the contents of my current drinks cabinet...

not going to have time to drink it all before i leave...

sounds like more than half a dozen bottles might not be prudent.
