I´d like to bring in some nice Spanish ham to some friends I´m visiting and not sure if it´s forbidden, just as in the US.

Thanks!

It would NOT be a good idea to bring pork to Dubai.
Seriously, NOT.

Yes you can, in reasonable quantity. Obviously not for sale. I regularly bring ham from home / my family and friends regularly bring ham for me. Pork meat is not banned in dubai, you can buy pork products in every bigger supermarket. Some restaurants also have pork dishes (clearly labelled).
