John We were there in March 1972
did you have little boys runnng onto the runway to the plane with trays or toy camels? one of the little sods got hold of my wife and tried to shove a toy camel into my hand. the immigration place to show our passports to get stamped was just a tent with tressle tables for the immigration officers to sit at. We had a small bungalow in the hotel grounds to ourselves but in March the underfloor heating was on even thought the temperature was like a hot summer day here. In this bungalow type of place the beds were on opposite sides of the room and single bed ones at that. To get from one to the other we had to put shoes on. Oh the laughs we had were at least 3 or 4 times a day at what the locals were doing.ent for a trip to he lcal large town and into a Souk. Did It stink? phew with sewage? running down the gutters at tghe edge of the road. Right in the middle was a large square and loads of women scrabbling over sheets/blankets/clothes or what ever. Back at the hotel one night there was a storm. in the morning the arabs on the open beach had camped on one raised sand dune and the camels tethered on another, Inbetween a large deep river occured and the Arabs were jumping up and down because they could not get to their camels. all of this and more really made our hooneymoon memorable
