I want to ship my E class to UAE
Hello,
I’m moving from Canada to UAE soon and want to ship my E class coupe there.
I was wondering if there will be any problems for the car as I know they are built a little differently here.
Would the AC would cope with the weather over there.
Thank You

Having lived there for nearly a year a few things come to mind.
I don’t have much experience with transporting cars except for the fact some companies make you drain the fuel tank.
As for driving in the Emirates. . . (disclaimer the following information is based on when I lived there in 2003)
1) No one had leather seats, too hot in the sun. Every car I saw even high-end Porsches had fabric seats..
2) Driving a dirty car, will get you a ticket from the local, law-enforcement officers, but don’t worry they have mobile car washing stations at every mall
3) Gas was cheap
4) Back then they used a lot of photo law enforcement.
5) Oh and by the way, don’t break the law. When I was there, a Canadian medic was visiting a Canadian soldier who was in the hospital. The medic was pulled over at two in the morning, because he swerved a little bit on the freeway. He was not drunk or under any influence, just tired, but the local law-enforcement thought he was under the influence and pulled him over. He got a ticket and a trial. They found him guilty and his sentence was six months in jail (despite not being drunk.) After three months of the Canadian government pleading on his behalf to commute the sentence the Emirati‘s said OK, but as part of the punishment they ended up whipping him with a leather strap. I saw the wounds three weeks later they were horrendous. Other than that the Emirati‘s are nice people, just don’t run afoul of the law.
Maybe sometime I’ll tell you about the al-Qaeda operative they arrested for terrorism. Oh hell here is the short version.
Monday : Arrested
Tuesday: Trial
Wednesday: Executed
