Yes, an Indian passport holder can enter Dubai, though many travelers need a visa before flying unless they meet visa-on-arrival rules.

Yes, liquids in carry-on bags are allowed when each container is 3.4 ounces or less and all containers fit in one quart-size bag. Airport liquid rules feel simple until you start packing.
