Title: Going for Umrah !
Post by: Zaini on June 25, 2008, 03:54:07 PM
Hello everyone,
We are leaving for Umrah on friday afternoon,so i won't be around much,we'll be staying in Dubai for three days also,I'll miss you all so much :hugfriend :hugfriend :hugfriend :biggrin.
Andy,
Do you think they'll let us carry IP6? as it contains white powder?

Zaini,
I have carried a whole suitcase of desferal through Dubai airports. The most that ever happens is they ask what it is and why I am carrying it. Bring some evidence that your daughter is being treated (a prescription for any med should do) for a disorder. I also take various vitamins and have never been questioned anywhere about them.
Have a nice trip. :smiley

Thanks a lot Andy :)
I asked zainab's dr to write me a prescription, which he did but only for ferriprox,folic acid and chewcal,as he said "i didn't prescribe this IP6 to you " :biggrin. Anyways i'll ask my cousin who is a doctor to give me a prescription.

Zaini,
I don't think you'll need a prescription for IP6 as long as you have a prescription for her other meds. Carrying vitamins on a trip is normal and I have never been asked once about the vitamins I carry with me every time I travel.

Hi Zaini Have a safe trip. As long as you carry a report that says your daughter is a thal major and IP-6 is just a medicament you will have no problem. In any case women when travelling with children especially are always checked out in a hurry so as the kids don`t have a problem. I have brought homeo medicines which are not allowed in my hand bag as I had to give Hassan hourly medicines.I have never had a problem, but the checking is a little more strict whilst coming for umrah. I too would have tried to come and meet you had the weather been better. Presently we are having a lot of dust storms and it is really hhhhhhhhhhhoooottttttt. Remember us in your prayers Maha

Thanks for all of your wishes :hugfriend
We had a great time ,apart from the initial three days when both kids had 104 degree fever,but gradually everything got better and i prayed a lot for every one,the site of Holy Kaaba is truely mesmerizing ,i was really worried abt zainab's hb as she had such high fever but after almost three and a half weeks her hb was 9.6,i expected it between 8 and 9,but i am happy with 9.6,and she definitely enjoyed the trip and was very active once fever was gone.
We stayed three days in Dubai also and enjoyed shopping and window shopping at once :biggrin as the mall of emirates is probably for millionairs.
I hope everyone is doing fine,i have so many posts to read,so let's get started :).
