I started writing a response, and last time I looked it got to be several pages long so I thought -better not. Gist was: Arab men cruise everywhere. Eye contact is powerful. The problem, as in so many places is WHERE TO DO IT. Except for the wealthier gulf states, People almost never have their own apartments or cars, and hotels often will not allow an Arab visitor in your room, Nor will they rent him a room without a passport, which most natives do not have. Best bet is to tip the desk clerk heavily, and don't expect your guest to bottom.
