Back to Dubai and the Middle East !

Oooh yes .... the holiday is over and i just arrived to Dubai last night !
I was really deeply sad to leave Egypt, i even had the same feeling of sadness i had when i was leaving it for good .

Although i didn't have time to do all i wanted properly, i still enjoyed my time with the family and friends that i already miss and hope to see soon .

I wanna tell my family that i love them all and hope to see them very soon .
And i wanna tell my friends, i love you all from the bottom of my heart, we will all be friends for ever no matter how far we are. And thanx for the beautiful time we had during this holidays.

Here i come to Dubai, upon arriving at the airport everything was fine and smooth till the moment a guy stopped us just before going out of the airport, after the passport control, the luggage collection and everything . The guy asked for our passports me and Hanan , he looked at her british passport and gave it back to her immediately . He kept my passport and said :

Guy : Where is ur bag ?
Me : (i showed it to him calmly )
Guy : Take it and follow me !
I took the bag and followed him . He took me into a small room , closed the door and told me
Guy : Where from Egypt are you from ?
Me : I am from Alexandria
Guy : Where in Alexandria ?
Me : Stanley , do you know it ?
Guy : No I know Moustafa Kamel
Me : That is close to stanley ( Very worried while answering his questions but at the same time very confident that i don't have anything illegal)
Guy : Can you empty your pockets ?
Took everything out of my pockets, then he searched my pockets by himself and asked me:
Guy : Do you smoke Cigarettes ?
Me : Yes i do
Guy : Where is you pack of cigarettes ?
Me : I don't have any now coz i finished it before coming
Guy : Do you smoke anything else ?
Me : No ( I started to tremble and sweat and i felt my adrenalyne going up )
Guy : Do you drink Alcohol ?
Me : No, But i just bought a bottle of whisky for some friends is that a problem ? (I tried to be honest to avoid any problems)
Guy : No That is fine, put ur stuff back in your pockets and thanks you
Me : Don't you need my bag anymore ?
Guy : No That is fine .

And this was the full dialogue of my first search in an airport, and then a friend of mine told me that is normal . that is what they are doing recently to any flight specially coming from Alexandria, looking for hashish and drugs . I actually wonder if they do that with all flights coming from Amsterdam !!!??? i don't think so .......... NO COMMENT ! :(
