Transit Dubai

From memory, when changing flights in Dubai, you have to go through security whereby if you have a bottle of water/coke etc over 100ml you have to hand it in. Is that still the case? It's only a 3 hour transit.

hi.

Where in Dubai ( exact location please, if you know) should i look for Chinese mobile phones including but not limited to I-phone replicas and so-called TV-Phones. I seriously doubt they are sold at fancy shopping malls there. there must be some big markets there where they are sold. Thanks.Amir
