March 2014: Flew into Doha with DJI Phantom (which I had taken apart and packed in separate bags). No problem going through customs/security. But have since learned the the Qatar Science Club requires a one year permit, simple application that states the type of UAV you want to bring into the country. Other colleagues have had to leave their UAVs at the airport, go to the Qatar Science Club, get the permit, and then return to airport with permit in order to collect their UAV. There's an RC airfield specifically for UAVs in Al Khor, just north of Doha.
