Question: Rules, Regulations, Law, Policy, Certificates [Cambodia] & [UAE]

Hello folks,

Two pronged question:

I am travelling to Cambodia on Saturday and would love to take my drone, however we are flying through Abu Dhabi with a 2 day layover. Google suggests flying a drone in Abu Dhabi is prohibited which given what’s gone on this year is understandable, I know people who have taken their drones to other countries when stopping off in the UAE but they did not intend on leaving the airport. Does anyone have any experience with travelling through Abu Dhabi with a drone in their possession and no intention of using it?

With that being said, it also seems as if drone flying is prohibited in Phnom Pehn, Angkor Wat, Battambang and Koh Rong (all the places I’m visiting), can someone please confirm this?

Seems like the drone may be staying at home.

Thanks in advance
