Basic travel allowance United Arab Emerites
My fiance' and son traveled to Dubai as he is an Architect. He designed a mall there.
When it came time to fly home the hotel clerk asked him if he had his BTA (Basic Travel Allowance). We had never heard of it.
So I sent him $4,000 to carry on the plane. On the way back to the hotel he was robbed. NO one except my fiance', the hotel emplyee and I knew the money was being sent. On the way back he was robbed.
I am not worried about the money, just want to get them back to the United States.
