Treck un Moroco desert, with local guide and camel drivers.

Causual conversation during dinner about alcohool, that non Muslim can legally drink alcohol, as long as they do it discreetly and not directly in front of locals because it might make people uncomfortable.

French tourist proceed to take red wine bottle out of its bag, drink it and even propose to local staff.

Never been so ashamed of my compatriots.

Genuine question: What would that look like?
Only in the hotel or the hotel room?

I don't care about alcohol but I am intrigued what that would look like.

On touristic areas, you can generally order wine in restaurant. But they bring the bottle into a black bag and put it on the ground, under the table. You can also buy beer on some shop, but same, they ask you to hide it in bag and not drink it in the street.

But on more rural area, they might ask you to leave if you bring alcohol in public place.
