Nepal to United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, the courier calls before the address matters.
Camp in Jebel Ali, flat in Deira, villa in Abu Dhabi. UAE couriers find the receiver by phone, so a working number is half the job.
The UAE uses no postcodes and many buildings have no street number. Couriers call the receiver and ask for directions. If the number is off, the parcel waits.
What you can send
- Clothes and shoes: Light clothes for the heat, and warm ones for winter evenings in the desert.
- Dry, packed food: Masala, achar without meat, chiura and tea in sealed packs.
- Ghee, oil and pickles: Ghee and oil sealed and upright; liquid boxes have a small fee.
- Documents: Certificates and passport copies for visa and job papers.
What not to send
- Medicine without a prescription: Gulf countries control many common medicines, including some painkillers and sleeping tablets. Send a photo of each packet to us before you pack.
- Alcohol and pork: Not allowed. That includes raksi and anything containing pork.
- Meat of any kind: We do not take meat to the UAE.
- Batteries, gas and anything flammable: Power banks, loose lithium batteries, lighters, matches, perfume in large amounts and aerosol cans cannot fly in cargo.

Questions
There is no postcode in Dubai. What do I write?
Building or camp, area, emirate and a landmark, plus a +971 number. That is how UAE couriers find people.
Can I send medicine to Dubai?
Some, with a prescription. Several common medicines are controlled in the UAE, so show us the packets first.
