One is first attracted to the cool, narrow, medieval streets in search of respite from the midday sun. The wares dangling and piled in shop fronts are intriguing. Quickly you find yourself drawn deeper into the maze of passageways guided by the fragrance of essential oils, spices, and incense. More interesting pieces and more colorful characters appear with each corner turned. At the end of a long day of exploring the magical city, you return to your hotel to relax.
Some hotels are fine lodging during a visit, some are a destination in themselves.
Happily ours are both. The Red Sea . The next moment, with the smallest, most graceful flick of a movement, it is gone. Then, there is that vibrant sensation that comes after a breezy day of alternating dips in the clear sea-water with sprawls on the powdery beach, punctuated by whatever else you feel like doing. It is not just a tingling of the skin, it is a tingling of the spirit.
