I have no specifics to give you, so I am sorry I can't help more on that, but it is pretty much the same everywhere, always be familiar with the law of the land you are walking in.

Excellent advice. Though they are very modern in many respects, they do not take transgressions of laws about public conduct lightly. Know what is against the law and don't play a game of "dare."
I have friends who travel and work there often, and they do just fine...but they do not get drunk in public, nor do they try to have a quickie on the beach with another foreigner.
Unlike some countries in the West, one suffers for violating the law in most Gulf countries.
