What's worse is you can't have alcohol.
Wrong. If you go to the international hotels in the big cities, almost all of them have a bar that serves alcohol in them. Dubai, U.A.E was a very good example of that. Matter of fact, I was able to get a beer at a bar in Jiddah Saudi Arabia when I went there, and there were even Muslims bellying up to the bar.
However.......................you CAN be taken to jail by the religious police if they smell alcohol on you, but they have to catch you first.
Safest way? Go directly from the door of the hotel into a waiting taxi, and then directly back to the ship.
I cannot believe you did that. Don't do that again. It isn't worth your life. Stay out of that God forsaken place!

Yanno.................haven't been back there since 1999. That was the last sea tour I had before I retired from the U.S. Navy in 2002.
And yeah...................it WAS worth my life to see how hypocritical some Islamists could be, especially when I saw them with their head covering, drinking in the bar.
But then again.................I'll probably never go there again. The tickets are too expensive, and besides.................for the same amount of money, I could probably go and visit Old Faithful in Yellowstone, and have enough left over to go and sit in on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
Personally? Give me Yellowstone and Jon Stewart.
