Don't wish to sound alarmist but if you are travelling with an Arabian Gulf based airline(i.e.Emirates or Etihad) and you take prescription level medications such as Valium or Xanax you should ensure that you carrying a current physician's prescription for exactly that medication.If for some reason you are stopped by the authorities there,perhaps for erratic behaviour caused by taking such medication,the lack of such a prescription could lead to four year prison sentence for drug possession.In the UAE having such medication in the bloodstream is deemed to constitute possession.Not an academic warning as a significant number of travellers through Dubai and Abu Dhabi have been jailed under these laws.
