Totally agree, my tasteful friend. The Arabian Court, I believe, is the name of the restaurant. The makhbous was also memorable.

It is out of order to serve alcohol at Iftar - I can see that there is a market for boozy iftars amongst those of us (myself included) that live here, but don't observe Ramadan. I hope that the hotel is smart enough not to market it as an Iftar
"a buffet that happens to start at fast-breaking time, serves alcohol and happens to include traditional Arabic food eaten during Ramadan"
is not gonna win advert of the year award, however!!

You appear to be missing the point...my cold water tank is on the roof and, from May-Oct, its contents range from luke warm to damned hot...the heater is off during the summer months.

Just out of curiosity, do you or anybody else have a "sexy boss" like the one Bee Bee has just acquired? Not sure if I could work properly under those circumstances. How about a crush on the teacher when you were at school? Not just MH but anybody else is invited to comment.
