Are AirTags allowed in Dubai?

Hi Andrea, Apple Airtags are permitted in checked in baggage.



Yes, Apple AirTags are fully allowed in Dubai and are widely used by travelers flying through Dubai International Airport (DXB). In 2026, major airlines like Emirates and flydubai actively permit passengers to use AirTags in both their carry-on and checked luggage. There was some historical confusion regarding lithium battery restrictions, but the FAA and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) have clarified that the small CR2032 coin-cell batteries in AirTags do not pose a safety risk and are exempt from the "no lithium batteries in checked bags" rule. In Dubai, which is a massive global transit hub, AirTags are particularly useful for tracking luggage during tight connections or at the busy baggage carousels of Terminal 3. There are no local laws in the UAE that prohibit the possession or use of personal tracking devices for luggage. However, as with all such devices, they should only be used to track your own property; using them to track people without their consent is a serious privacy violation that could lead to legal trouble under the UAE's strict digital privacy laws.
