You can bring in DVD's no problem as long as it is not pornography and that goes for books as well. Probably not a problem for you if your traveling with kids who watch cartoons!
You can bring in alcohol but I recommend you buy it here at the duty free when you arrive it's much cheaper.
You have to be careful with certain medications. You can't have medicine that contains codeine unless you have a prescription. If you do carry prescribed medicine it is best to make sure the labels are on all the bottles.
Besides all the obvious things like drugs, banned substances etc. they are pretty good about everything else.
This is basically a shopping paradise so leave room in your suitcase! It's a fun place to visit.
If you are coming now it will be Ramadan so they expect s to dress a little more conservative than usual during the holy month and you will not be able to drink or eat in public during daylight hours. Some hotels have special areas for the guest to eat. Younger children are exempt from this rule.
Hope you have a fun time!

Childrens' DVDs cartoons etc should be completely fine, but be careful about unacceptable DVDs for adults. Anyway video or magazines with inappropriate contents may be confiscated. Your kids will probably enjoy looking at the many DVDs they have over here too, fairly reasonably priced also. Check out the ones at Carrefour Hypermarket. Have a nice trip!!
