It is a bit less strict than you think. It's not just about the police giving the tourists some leeway. - Alcohol is fully legal for non-muslims, even if they have residency (or in rare cases citizenship). - Unmarried cohabitation is fully legal, unmarried sex is mostly legal. It can only be prosecuted when a partner is cheating and their wife/husband files a complaint. Or when a minor is involved and their legal guardian files a complaint. On the other hand homosexual and transgender expressions are still illegal, like you say.
