Yes, most of the rumors you heard is true. Especially about the one with the "skin color " discrimination. I had one guard tell me that I would not be allowed but showed me another person with a lighter skin and said that he will be allowed in.
If you are still confused, why dont u ask the people who said " there is no such thing " if there are huge sign boards outside some of the big malls here saying Friday is family day or not. I beleive it is till 10pm on a friday.
Its also true that after sometime you get used to it all and just go somewhere else to blow of some steam or lay on the grass in corniche and stare at the stars and go home.
