Travellers who 'smuggle' poppy seeds face Dubai jail - Times Online
I'd recommend emptying your washbag of anything you do not need - if you require any medication, ensure you bring a prescription for it with you. If you can find out whether simple meds are available in the Maldives (I've never been so I do not know what you can or cannot get) and avoid eating poppy seed buns at Heathrow before flying (this is NOT a joke!!!!)
