Janine in Al Ain

I really think it all depends on what customs officers you get on what day and if they feel like going through things. I was advised by my removalists not to bring all sorts of things over so I left them at home (bibles, christening presents, photos etc etc), however I guess it all depends on the risk you want to take. I decided for the few years we would be here that I'd rather keep all my photos etc safe and not have to worry about them. I know the likelihood of the ship going down is remote, but I wasn't willing to risk it.

However I know lots of people that brought everything over and had no problems at all. I did bring some DVD's and religious things in my hand luggage with no problems.
