Can you bring cannabis or CBD to United Arab Emirates?

• Cannabis

  prohibited

  Dubai Customs' official passenger guide lists "narcotics of all kinds" among items not allowed for import by passengers under any circumstances. No CBD-specific carve-out (e.g. a THC percentage threshold) was found on a primary UAE source in this pass — treat CBD/hemp products the same as cannabis and do not bring them, regardless of their legal status in your home country or how they are labeled.

  Also covers: cannabis, marijuana, weed, thc, hashish, cbd, cbd oil, hemp extract
