*The sand-swept dunes of Arabia are a cruel place indeed.*
*The sand holds no heat at night and amplifies it in the day, making the desert a very unaccomodating place to live.*
*Yet, strangely, people live there.*
*The hardy Arabic people began their civilization as nomads, traders, and wranglers, eventually settling in several places in the region that were forgiving enough to support life.*
*...*
*But some of them get stupid sometimes and decide to build a Bar out in the middle of the desert. 'Cuz you get thirsty out there.*
*This...is that Bar.*
*It is well-architectured, as many Arabic buildings are, with sandstone walls and towers, tiled minarets, looking more like a fortress than a Bar. The exterior walls are white and heavily sandblasted, while the inside courtyard is a garden, with date trees, shade, a small pond, and inside, tables, couches and a wood bar along the north wall. The interior has something of a taste of Casablanca...except, somehow, less diluted...*
*Aries, dressed in a white kiffea (headscarf), and looking very T.E. Lawrence, grins.*
Hey, rootin' for the Arabs ain't always a BAD thing, y'know...
