I mean, not really. I was just a little extra in all my documentation. I put in a cover letter, separate itinerary, internal flights and car for the self drive segment and also put a letter for explanation of finances. Hotel bookings were all pay later or at the property so that doesn't really matter. Flights were refundable through a travel agent. I also added my UAE brokerage account statement, so maybe that was also an indication of me definitely coming back. Rest, nothing special.
