It is a messy business but he didnt even taste a bit. What a shame.

This was where he finished the first night.

Some arabic coffee placed in the foyer for guests. Cardamom scented.

With some ornaments outside. Some functional like this ash tray on the left and some decorative like this giant vase on the right. I have to admit that I did notice a reduction in smokers in the UAE.
