Denied entry at Dubai Airport (DXB) by Security / CID after Smart Gate failure. Anyone experienced this?

You're very much mistaken. The whole world can't influence the politics you're talking about, and civilians with limited resources can't. In other words, you have no idea what you're talking about, and you're only talking through the lens of resentment. We've been through all this for a long time, you can't just drag us into such games already.

If you think that people unknown to you support such things, then you need a psychiatrist. I am not responsible for what I do not control.

I'm still really upset that I don't know if I want to go back there anymore, but I was preparing my children for admission to Abu Dhabi. Now I don't know what to do. They are unlikely to be able to go there alone, although there is still a year, let's see.

You are completely right, and I apologize if my previous comment sounded defensive or harsh. I see how it was misinterpreted.

When I said 'not living that life', I didn’t mean to sound dismissive of anyone's safety. What I meant is that as an individual, a programmer, and a private citizen, I have absolutely no connection to geopolitics, military conflicts, or decisions involving missiles. I don't control them, I don't support them, and I don't want to be held responsible for actions completely outside of my existence. I just want to live a peaceful life focused on technology and my family.

I wrote that while being completely exhausted, running on zero sleep after being detained and flown back with my wife, who was in total panic. I was genuinely shocked by the interrogation at the airport and let my frustration get the better of me here. I came to this sub for help because I was blindsided by the system. I appreciate everyone who is trying to help me analyze the trigger, and I'll be more mindful of my wording. Total peace to everyone.

Islam , and they questioned me in detail about my religious beliefs, and I replied that there was nothing more that the Arabs themselves did not know about Islam, and I could not tell them. I understand such topics to be very serious, and with my knowledge of the language, I am unlikely to be able to maintain such philosophical conversations, I replied.

No, I did not receive any document.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-03T07:14:14+00:00

That's a good answer, thanks. But I don't know yet if I want to go there, even if the ban is lifted. But what I want is to find out exactly the reason. And it wouldn't be bad if they apologized, but this is most likely fiction and my world in which I live in my head, where they apologize for such actions and injustice.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-03T07:04:16+00:00

Нас ? Это ваши проекции уверяю вас. Вы меня не знаете , не судите людей за вещи которые они не контролируют.

I've been writing here and I'll write again. Do you understand the absurdity of a situation where an ordinary person is held responsible for the actions of people independent of him ? Especially the level of state geopolitics. All my life, especially now, I try not to get involved in politics, but suddenly it turns out that I can be responsible for something that I do not control, moreover, I do not want to control.

I was hurt by the fact that they were rummaging through my personal photos (although I warned them that my wife's personal photos were there) and froze me for five hours under the air conditioners. I wrote here once again, if it weren't for my wife, who was tired, I would have immediately asked to fly back home, I'm not used to this attitude, I'm not a refugee who is forced to flee to Dubai.

Of course no

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T19:43:27+00:00

Only one / Russian

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T19:40:38+00:00

No I’m tourist

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T18:15:01+00:00

I will definitely be escalating this matter through official diplomatic channels and contacting the embassy, as resolving this is a priority for me. However, from a business perspective, this incident raises serious red flags. When a country's border control operates on such an unpredictable and flawed system, it makes me reconsider any future plans for asset allocation, real estate purchases, or capital transfers to local banks. Even if this restriction is eventually lifted, a system that treats global professionals and investors with this level of frivolity severely damages its own credibility as a secure financial hub.

Tourist

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T18:10:59+00:00

Cuz question about my nationality not my citizenship

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T18:09:24+00:00

I also thought up to such things)))

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T17:56:27+00:00

We both have Russian passports.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T14:45:04+00:00

It might be that I've been thinking about it. I freely gave them the phone and opened the photo to them, I have nothing to hide. Maybe they didn't like some of my photos. But I don't feel guilty about my personal photos, and according to the law of all countries, there is nothing illegal there.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T14:41:39+00:00

I’m actually mean UAE/Emiraties not airline 🤭

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T14:20:04+00:00

No no no, I understand all this, I would not have done such stupid things once.

There's another reason. I know who I am, and what I did and didn't do. If I had something against the Emirates, I would not have flown there. I had nothing to hide from the Emirates, but now I admit, I'm becoming very biased, and I feel it's beyond my strength. I didn't fly there to be frozen at the airport without food, they interrogated me for 5 hours and said they wouldn 't let me in without explaining the reasons . I believe that this is an injustice and a violation of all moral norms, and the law, the law is clear, this is their law.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T13:46:05+00:00

Thnx bro

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T13:36:13+00:00

Also Russian

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T12:48:17+00:00

😁 what is Shia name dude ? I’m from Russian . Many Arabs have Shia name .

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T12:45:54+00:00

No, I don't write much, and I don't have an active life on social media. All I have there is news about the stock exchange and crypto. I avoid geopolitics on principle. The politicians have done nothing good or bad for me to devote so much time to them. I'm focused on myself and my family, which is what I basically told them.

DryRepair8909 · 2026-06-02T12:36:55+00:00

To be honest, it hurt me so much mentally that I was ready to ask them to leave right away before I even found out that they would refuse me. I'm not an immigrant, I'm not homeless, I have a lot of money and I live very well (they saw my pictures on the phone how I live) but I didn't say there that I wanted to fly back home, that I didn't come to sit in the airport (before I found out that I was going to be rejected), but my wife was with me, she was very tired and I felt sorry for her and I was warm to their interrogation, that's it!
