Take Your Passport When You Check in at a Fujairah Hotel

This blog writer tells about a relaxing Fujairah holiday that almost didn’t begin because she and her friends did not take full ID.

She writes:

“Once we got there, all tired, we were told at the front desk we could not check in because we did not have our passport.”

It all ends up happily ever after relaxing on Fujairah sands but this is an important reminder.

Question
Would Fujairah hoteliers tell us whether this is the standard practice for tourists and UAE residents—is a Passport essential or is another form of ID OK (a driver’s licence)?
