There are wine shops in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman (2 units), Um Al Quwain (3 units) and Fujairah (1 unit). In Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the purchase of alcohol requires a license issued by the internal affairs authorities only to residents of the country. In other emirates, when buying alcoholic beverages, they do not ask her, which, however, does not mean that she is not needed at all there. Of course, the choice is not as wide as in large cities of Russia, but you can buy something. There are also some features in the range.
It is strictly not recommended to drink alcohol in public places. Some people manage to pour alcohol into plastic bottles from mineral water and take it with them to the beach, but you need to keep in mind that if the hotel simply asks you to remove the "water" you brought with you, then on the "wild" beach because of this there may be serious problems with representatives of the law. Especially strictly with this in Sharjah. Drink better in bars and restaurants.

As in many other Muslim countries, the UAE has restrictions on the import of alcoholic beverages and cigarettes. A quota of 2,000 cigarettes (or 400 cigars, or 2 kg of tobacco) and 2 liters of strong spirits, as well as 2 liters of low-alcohol drinks are allowed per person.

The restriction on the import of alcoholic beverages, cigarettes, etc. exists absolutely everywhere. In the UAE, alcohol can be freely bought in Ajman. If you want to drink - almost at any hotel (there are not many exceptions) in restaurants and bars there is alcohol = at least vodka, at least whiskey, at least beer. no alcohol only in local (outside the hotel) restaurants and shops. After passport control in duty free, you can buy at least a gallon of alcohol - no one will say a word - unless you are a Muslim of course. The only thing is, of course, it’s better not to walk the streets drunk)) In general, there are a lot of speculations about this country - in fact, everything is much simpler
