The daughter has gone home, but the mother is still stuck in Dubai, and has been told it will take at least a year to resolve the case.

Sounds like the Sand People have quite the little racket going there.

I have no sympathy for anyone landing in the rough when visiting any 3rd world ****hole. Especially if it’s a muslim ****hole.
Only exceptions are if it’s made necessary because of job. Otherwise, they went, they own whatever happens to them all on their lonesome.

Holman pulled out her phone to record the incident but was quickly shut down by armed police who led the pair to an airport cell where their phones and passports were confiscated.
This is what the left will make America like given half a chance. Believe it.

Wine is available in Dubai. What gives? Exactly. Something isnt adding up here. There must be more to the story.

Holmans partner.,.There is certainly more to this story, that we probably dont want to know.

Wine is available in Dubai. What gives?Yes, there has to be more to this story. I've gotten plenty drunk at multiple hotel bars many times on many visits to Dubai.
This being said, on my flights to Dubai, alcohol was not sold. Only on flights out of Dubai was alcohol permitted to be sold and consumed.
The attitude in many Sunni Muslim countries is you can get as drunk as you want within the confines of the hotel but that's where you need to stay.

My passport is filled w/ stamps for all the times I transited through Dubai. I spent many a week there in the past. You could buy booze. Nightclubs abound.....Dubai airport even has liquor stores. Perhaps things have changed?
There’s more to this story.
The most rude and disrespectful travelers by far I ever encountered were heavily drinking British nationals aboard British Airways flights.
What the UAE (Dubai anyway) does not tolerate is drunken, disrespectful loudmouth behavior.

Who beside a whacked out muslim, would go to Dubai for anything? Nupe, never at all ever.
(That said, there just might be a pretty long list of countries that I choose to not visit. And, a couple of USA states that I avoid when possible.)

Why was alcohol even on that plane? And why do people insist on going to muzzie countries for vacations?
