Carry a drone during a Dubai/Seychelles trip
Next month I will travel from Italy to Seychelles for my honeymoon and I wish to carry my drone (a DJI Mavic PRO) with me. I'm aware that flying a drone without a license is illegal in Dubai but since I will stay there for 3 days I want to be sure if I can just carry it in my luggage without actually flying it or if I risk to have it taken by customs/police.
Best Answer
Back from the trip :) No problems at all with the drone. I passed through both countries customs without any issues at all. Didn't fly it in Dubai though due to lacking a state license). Just an advice for Seychelles, beware that Air Seychelles planes fly at relatively low altitudes and there are a couple helicopters flying too so you better keep an eye on those while operating a drone to avoid collisions.
