How NOT to smuggle alcohol into Saudi Arabia
January 28, 2016 18:40
Saudi Arabia is a dry country. Use of intoxicants, be it in any form, is prohibited in Islam. Saudi Arabia follows the Sharia law derived from the Quran and therefore it follows that alcohol is illegal.
In fact any product that contains alcohol even in trace amounts is banned in the country. But does that mean people in Saudi Arabia don't drink? They do and most try a better technique.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's customs department's official Twitter handle posted this photo saying how this man tried to smuggle 10-odd Red Label bottles in to the country and was busted. The story was first published in India Today
