We arrived in Bahrain late last night after a great flight with Etihad. Arrived at the Gulf Hotel Bahrain after a short trip in the taxi. It is amazing and because we're so nice, we'll let you share this adventure with us.
The main entrance
The BBQ area
The main salon
And finally a few pictures of the pool
Our neighbour: The King !
edit (01/09/09): this turns out to be the Al Fateh Grand Mosque. and the palace that is beside it is the working palace so I wasn't lying when I said the Kind was my neibourg, at least for now.Meeting today with Stephanie (our assigned buddy from the university) to show us around.
Hopefully there will be AC everywhere cos it is unbearably hot (over 45 degrees) and humid.
People seem very nice, just a few rules to follow because of Ramadan such as not eating or drinking in front of people during daylight or having shoulders covered. Inside the hotel is ok tho cos it's considered a private place.

Extraordinary nice place. Difficult to believe that is in the middle of a desert.
