Can you bring e-cigarettes or vapes to the United Arab Emirates?

Short answer
Allowed, within limits

  • E-cigarettes

    allowed, within limits

    E-smoking devices are permitted for personal use, at the customs inspector's discretion, according to Dubai's customs guidance for travellers. No quantity limit is stated.

    This is Dubai's guidance; we haven't checked other emirates' ports separately. Bring only what's clearly for your own use. The duty-free tobacco allowance is separate: up to 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars or 500 g of tobacco.

    Also covers: e-cigarette, vape, vaping device, e-liquid, electronic cigarette
