my mates dad worked in saudi arabia for many years for teh sultan of oman , its perfectly acceptable to take pot shots at people for fun with a rifle yet you can be flogged in the street for been drunk, he was also offered 2 cammels for his wife which he later regreted not taking
a very parculiar country and altholugh i agree you should follow the laws of a country this kissing law is probably unheard of by most tourists and if they see others doing it then they cant realy be blamed for thinking it was ok infact i dare say it didnt cross tehir mind that kissing your parthner is a crime because it is such a ludricous law to start with.
a simple warning woudl have surficed but examples must be made of tourists i guess
