Are Holy Bibles permitted into UAE ports?
I can find no restriction statements at all either by the US or UAE regarding possession, transportation, or ownership of Bibles.

At that, the UAE has issued a statement of Religious Tolerance and they actually have a 9% Christian population.

I don't know. I do know that Dubai and Abu Dhabi are some of the greatest seaports in the world. Since the country is officially Muslim, I don't think Christianity is officially recognized as a faith, but I would surmise that churches for oil workers, domestic workers, and seamen are quietly tolerated.
