have Muscat (Oman) or Marrakech (Morocco), but they’re considered still an
experience nonetheless.

exterior. The lobby is also truly marvelous and non-hotel guests can go for a drink or

surely decide to drop by the Madinat Jumeirah for a traditional thrilling boat
ride along the waterfront. There are plenty of fancy restaurants in this area
