What will happen if I take dvds (e.g. horror movies ) with me to Qatar and they are not deemed suitable?

Cheers Deedee, that seems fair enough although I can't understand why a disney movie was not returned to you. I was just worried to take them because they could be deemed offensive however "taking offence" is obviously a personal opinion.

They kept all my videos for about 2 weeks before returning them to me. Only one I did not get back was "The Little Mermaid". I guess Ariel's bikini was too provocative! Halloween & other horror movies are fine. Off color language is fine. Only porno movies would be confiscated.

Thanks for letting me know, so they aren't going to arrest me for taking "halloween" and a jimmy carr dvd with me? They can't physically watch a copied DVD I might bring can they?

no Problem generally they will not check, if they check and the CD's found to be offensive then all your cd's gone.
