In simple terms: Avoid showing public affection and you will be all good.👍 Yes, there are islamic rules, but what most people don't understand is that the relationships between friends from same sex are way more intimate in Islamic countries. It's a common sight to see 2 male friends embracing or holding each other's hands on the street and also sharing a room with a friend is very common (if you want to be extra cautious then asking for twin room eliminates all other questions) So long story short: if you don't publicly claim to be gay there's nothing to worry about. (And yes, I understand that it might be restricting not to be able to express yourself fully, but sadly in some parts of the world it is still the case. However we and mamy other travelers accept this as the price to pay to explore some of the more exotic countries and cultures. And this last part we know quite well, because the same judgement and rules also apply to unmarried couples which we happen to be) *hope this helps 😁👌

@@WildVikingTravels I rather stay away than running risks with double standards.

In Medina, non-Muslims are allowed to enter, but the only place that non-Muslims are forbidden to enter in Medina is the Prophet's Mosque. Sorry if you didn't understand something because I'm using Google Translate.
