alcohol is prohibited, if you manage to bring a bottle, then in any case you will drink it quietly in the room. I am silent about the fact that it is forbidden to appear drunk, which means it is dangerous, i.e. fraught with consequences

you read what customs regime in the UAE. as far as I remember, you can bring in 1 liter of alcoholic beverages, you can still (quietly) buy a little at the airport itself in duty-free, but you will drink in the room (also quietly) :), walking in this form is not recommended :). they can fine you for sure, maybe they will send you to a zindan. the last one needs more clarification :)

oops, sorry didn't look at the emirate. Sharjah is the most non-alcoholic emirate. Here you can not only drink, you can swim only on the beaches of hotels, topless sunbathing is not allowed, clothes above the knees (for women) are also not allowed. "Sharjah is the only emirate with a "dry" law. It is not only forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages here, but even their presence in your luggage is considered a criminal offense. As a result, the emirate is not rich in nightlife either: there are no bars and typical European entertainment However, you can have a nice evening in a local Arab club with national music."

I have been flying for 8 years in business. I have never had a complaint about alcohol at the Dubai airport, although I always took 2 to 0.5 vodkas with me. and 8-10 cans of beer although really it is forbidden!

Thanks to everyone for the answers, but half of them turned out to be inaccurate. We have already returned from the UAE, from Sharjah, we learned about everything personally. The rules for transporting alcohol in luggage to Sharjah are absolutely the same as in general to the country and to Dubai. You can buy in other emirates and calmly relax in a hotel room. Indeed, in Sharjah it is a dry law, you can’t drink in public places, but if you don’t interfere with anyone and your behavior is not demonstrative, then no one cares about you! Relax, enjoy, travel !The country is friendly, absolutely safe for tourists and incredibly INTERESTING!!!

Yes, you can, only in luggage. We had 2 x 0.5 cognac and 6 cans of beer. I repeat that you can drink only in the hotel room. And you can buy alcohol, except for Sharjah, in a few shops in other neighboring emirates. All Russian-speaking guides know their locations, you yourself will not find them, they are inconspicuous, without signs and advertising, but the alcoholic products are varied, very high quality, from Europe, etc. We bought delicious French wines in Ajman (this is a neighboring emirate, not far from Sharjah ). The restaurants of five-star hotels also sell alcoholic drinks. For example, during an excursion to the capital Abu Dhabi, a dinner was planned at one of the hotels: for an additional fee, there was a choice of 23 alcoholic drinks!
