Why leave anything at all? In Turkey and Egypt, the hotel made a photocopy of the passport and took the voucher, the passport remained with us. And in Dubai, at the Rafee 2 * hotel last year, they took away all tourists' passports for the entire period and, just before departure, under the threat of not returning their passports, they demanded payment for services that tourists did not use (iron, etc.). If you give a copy of your passport - is it enough? And is it even legal to take a personal document?

No, of course they don’t have any right, you can generally not give them a passport in their hands, but only let them make an entry from your hands or provide a photocopy yourself. When trying to get hold of documents of this kind, you can safely send mothers in Russian!

In almost all hotels in the UAE, they take your passport for the period of your vacation and have the right to do so, if you need it, you can always come up and take it for a while. Instead of a passport, you can leave a deposit, but again, this is not at all hotels. If you don’t give your passport, they won’t check you into a hotel, and even if you call the police, there will be no other way. I worked here 7 in tourism and saw many smart people who, after the scandal, still gave away their passports. So do not spoil the mood for yourself or people :-) by the way, for 7 years, not a single tourist’s passport was lost, they were returned safe and sound during eviction. Your visa is enough to move around the country.

Regarding the payment for services that tourists did not use :-) literally 2 days ago there was a case. I arrived at the Lords Hotel for guests, I was sitting waiting, at that time 2 Russian women were evicted from the hotel, the attendants approached them and said .. "madam, pay for the water that you took from the mini bar" .. These two madams start screaming .. We they didn’t take it as you can, a disgrace, in general they made a scandal, all this came to the manager, he looked that the ladies were not controllable, waved his hand at this water. Satisfied ladies sat down to wait for the transfer, and then I hear one another say ... Just think, they drank water, they won’t get poorer, I told you we’ll make a scandal and we won’t pay. Therefore, always answer only for yourself. I personally travel a lot around the emirates, often go to Fujairah for the weekend and always give my passport and no one has ever forced me to pay for something that I did not use :-)

The girls had their own iron, and they were required to pay for using the hotel's iron. Passports were returned right before boarding the bus for the airport, creating a time-wasting fuss. Of course, it was scary not to catch the plane. This is what they used at the reception. And, if everything is so fundamental, why, as a result, did they give away passports to those who persistently refused to pay for the missing services? Passport is an identity document. It is against the law to take your passport or give yours to anyone.

Here and when applying for a job, most companies take away passports. This country has its own laws. Taking passports for vacations is the concept of hotels and in this country it is not illegal, even the locals give it away. What's wrong with leaving your passport in a hotel safe for the duration of your vacation. Check out of the hotel 30 minutes before the bus, and not when you already need to be in it. When you hand over the keys, they give you a passport, all questions must be resolved in advance.

They gave it when they were already evicted. This once again suggests that no one will forcefully hold your passport.

Don't give your passports to anyone! Scandalte, turn to raised voices and all that, but do not give your passport back! No one has the right to take it from you. It is an international right not to give away your passport.

The passport is taken away in exchange for a residence permit from everyone! I live here and know the laws. I won’t argue, make a scandal, they will call the police and they will explain to you what is legal in this country and what is not. I worked here in tourism for a very long time and I probably know better than you, believe me, not a single one was so smart and then they still gave me a passport. Many hotels now have a deposit, if you don't want to pay money, give your passport.

You do not argue in vain, the Passport is the only confirmation of your identity and in no country in the world can you be forced to give it to someone, whether it be the hotel administration, or the English queen!

But I have never seen Europeans screaming and swearing, arranging a tantrum at the reception in a hotel. Maybe that's why they go to a meeting, and when a person barely having arrived at a hotel begins to turn on a psycho, the normal desire of the hotel arises to protect himself and his property.

I'm not arguing, I'm telling it like it is. There are many laws in this country that are contrary to international law. I'm talking about what I know for sure.

Advice for sane people. If you do not want to give your passport, ask if it is possible to leave a deposit (usually its size is from $100 to $500 depending on the hotel, there is still such a moment, it will be returned back in dirhams). If this option is not possible, you still have to give your passport, otherwise you simply won’t be settled, it’s legal in this country, the hotel will never do anything illegal, here they will simply be closed for breaking the law. Therefore, calmly give your passport and ask when it will be possible to pick it up, some hotels give passports the next day after lunch. If not, the next day, come to the reception and say that you need a passport to buy a SIM card, and then you just forget to return it.
