On to the land of Arabia and the Kingdom of Bahrain.
There is a very exclusive Banyan tree there and the
architecture is just exquisite.
The outdoor pool is like stepping into a dream.
The indoor pool is just as fantastic with the arches
that are synonymous with Islamic architecture.
A look at the facade of the hotel from the water.
Look at the dining table floating in the middle.
It looks so cozy and luxurious.
The main entrance is very
grand with two towers framing it.
A look at the sumptiously appointed lobby.
Love the mosaic tiles covering the walls and pillars.
A beautiful guest room covered in marble.
Beautiful fountains.
Another look at the pool that's like a fantasy.
I truly think this culture has a knack for designing
outdoor spaces. Very classical, timeless and beautiful.
