I don't know of any tourists getting into trouble for taking photographs in the UK but it wouldn't be advisable to shoot sensitive areas such as military installations. David

In some cases, camera equipment was confiscated & photographers were told that photography was not allowed, even though they were taking shots in public areas.

When will people learn... stay out of the middle east.. its that simple. You couldn't pay me to live over there. Try taking a video of police doing anything in pretty much any American city and see how that turns out. Not, of course, that I'd want to live in Dubai either... 120° summer days? No thanks!
