This is a very 'Dubai' style article for a magazine that represents the region. Saudi Arabian Hoteliers operate Sharia compliant hotels from bachelor only properties to family properties to family/bachelor properties. Where there's a will there's a way.

Remember no bacon or any pork product , also your controller needs to be afluent with the financial side of sharia ( interest free bank accounts - no fixed deposits on his ledgers , no use of conventional loans ) and most important to pay salaries on time and do not "hold" overtime monies ... following prophet Mohamed PBUH directions 1400 years ago "pay your employee before his sweat dries off" . Manage to do that and I would call you Sharia compliant ... Believe me it's not a check list you need to follow but it's a spirit & a culture Sharia Operators must embrace.
