If a siren or alert sounds, immediately hide in a safe place instead of making a video outside.
Do not take photographs of the incident site or debris or try to touch it. Recording of arrival/departure inside the airport is completely prohibited. Avoid spreading rumors or forwarding old videos, it will be considered a crime.

Officials have made it clear that for not following the rules, a fine ranging from 1 lakh to 30 lakh dirhams (AED) can be imposed.
