UAE imposed the ban in last month. The ban was announced after reviewing the misuse of drones, not limiting the practice of these sports to the areas identified in the user permits and trespassing into areas where these types of activities are prohibited.
Violators will be punished with a fine of Dh100,000 and even imprisonment. Companies that have contracts or commercial/advertising projects that rely on filming using drones must approach the permit authorities to get necessary exceptions and permits.
