When you are arrested in Dubai, your personal items, such as your mobile phone, will be taken and stored in a secure place.
I understand this is a difficult situation, but allow me to be direct with you. When you’re arrested, they’ll take all your belongings – phone, wallet, everything – and store it securely until your release. No need to worry; your items will be safe throughout the entire duration.
If you find yourself at the police station in Dubai for a while, your family and friends can bring some necessities such as clean clothes and money on specific days. However, if the situation escalates in Dubai and you are moved to a real prison, you may need to acquire additional items such as a pillow from their small store, as visitors aren’t allowed to bring such items.
