Running Booze in Arabia……..
“DUBAI // Police seized more than 5,500 bottles of illegal alcohol as they were being smuggled to a neighbouring country, officers said yesterday. In the UAE’s biggest drinks raid this year, the alcohol was found hidden inside dozens of large bundles of clothes while being transported by lorry from Dubai, where it was allegedly produced. Police said they stopped the lorry at a border point. Dubai’s only border crossing with another country is at Hatta, which adjoins Oman. However, officers did not confirm the location of the raid. For the police, it was a significant victory in their campaign against the illegal trade in alcohol, which largely takes place within labour camps…………”
These booze were being run from the shores of the Persian-American Gulf inland. But booze are legally served in Omani hotels, and most can get them in the market. Guess which neighboring country they were destined for?
