The OP will definitely be asked for their passports by the hotel so that they can take copies for their records. It is a Dubai Police requirement. However no one cares if they are not married unless they suspect that they are Muslim and even then I doubt that would be an issue. Dubai is very tourist friendly and they understand how the World works. Overt displays of affection in public (such as kissing) are indeed considered offensive so care should be taken if one is an inveterate smoocher ...

Attendees,
This is a last and final call for anyone who is interested in participating in the Dune Bashing on Sunday. Please identify yourself immediately.
We only have three people so far, and unless we get 6, this activity becomes economically unviable. If we still don't have enough people in a couple of days, I'm going to have to pull the plug on this, and I'm terribly sorry to those who had already signed up.

I think we'll go ahead and get tickets for the 7pm slot and just show up with everyone else in the 6pm group. If we can go in early, great! If not, I'm sure we can figure out something to do for the hour. Being up there for sunset is probably prime time anyway, which would explain why the earlier slots are sold out.

Brunch booking still open?
Having been away completely missed that this was rushing up and just managed to grab 2 of the last tickets for the brunch, hopefully this will be ok as just realised the closing date was yesterday. Eventbrite said the event had 6 hours left of sale, I have paid and got a receipt so guess that means we are booked in?
Either way will come along Thursday and hopefully Friday for shenanigans.
