Alcohol Consumption
Alcohol Consumption is allowed only by Non-Muslims in licensed restaurants, bars, clubs, private venues, and at home (for residents who have acquired an alcohol license). Tourists will not be able to purchase alcohol in general stores and supermarkets etc., alcohol in these stores are for residents who have obtained the required liquor license to purchase alcohol for consumption in their own personal use at homes. It is against the law to drink alcohol whilst walking in the street or to be drunk in a public place. For those living in the UAE a special license must be obtained before purchasing alcohol from the exclusive, specialized, licensed stores.
