As a foreigner/tourist you have practically 0 chances of going to prison, unless you do something really stupid.

Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.

As I said, respect the local laws and customs and nothing will happen to you. As proven by about 15 million annual tourists from all over the world.

You obviously don’t have to visit if you disagree with the local customs, but to say that going there has any measurable chances of getting arrested is incorrect.

And regarding the law about sharing a room by a (heterosexual) premarital couple, it has been decriminalized in 2020, and rarely applied to foreigners in the first place.

The “hand sign associated with StarTrek” is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase “Resistance is futile” is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by “You will be assimilated”.

Some unsolicited trivia for you.
