Dubai has to have the most pragmatic approach to tourism and the ways of tourists in the GCC: to pick on an unmarried couple in this way suggests their status was drawn to the attention of the hotel in a way that could not be ignored.
My interpretation is the OP read something or heard a rumour and called the hotel to enquire. I was totally unaware the first couple of times I visited Dubai and was totally brazen as a consequence

Given the OP's first post (in another thread), you could well be correct !
