I pity the poor FAs having to check each PAX licence during the trolley service.
You can't get the required licence. There are a few news articles about the absurdity of the situation that most visitors who come to Dubai are breaking the law by drinking illegally, but are never informed of the fact, or in fact, have the law enforced on them - and that they can never technically comply with the letter of the law. It's not a situation that is unknown to the authorities and the UAE legal system. In practice, if you behave, everything is fine. But the
moment you step out of line and alcohol is involved even incidentally, books may be thrown at you...
