So as being reported here and here its worth considering some cultural sensitivities before getting down to some heavy petting in Petra, having a jump in Jumeirah, or orgasming in Oman. Such activity may be happily entertained or even encouraged in certain places in the Med but you dont need to have a phd in middle eastern studies to know that any open sexual activity may not go down too well in arab islamic countries. Especially if you are caught.
