Gulf Hospitality - 28th Nov 2006

This is the lovely hotel Gulf Air let me stay in while on transit in Bahrain for 8 hours. They even fed me lunch! This is welcome hospitality but very uncommon elsewhere outside the Gulf region. Perhaps this is a carry-over from their traditional desert culture, where every visitor to your land must have come a long hard way and are tired, so you give him a place to sleep and something to eat.

Good that they keep this culture. We all must remember what to keep when we “progress” in our societies.

Thank you Gulf Air.
