There is no check. Some bars even serve alcohol to people in national dress.

And as a non resident you can't get a licence anyway.

It's only used as an add on to something else - I've never seen a case of anyone ever being caught without a licence for just drinking, it's always an add on to an assault charge or similar.

This should be in the omni thread not the EK one as EK serve booze on all routes except Saudi.

No one cares or will bother you if you drank .... until you did some silly things then this will apply whether you are resident, non-resident, tourist, on an EK flight etc. Lesson here is - drink sensibly and if you can't control yourself, don't drink!

Good article, but it says Muslim drinkers are targeted... how do they tell if you are muslim?
