The ban took effect last Friday. Yep, the hotels were given precisely 24 hours notice of a decision which has effectively crippled their businesses. So much for Bahrain having the friendliest business environment in the Gulf!
Rumour has it that 3 star establishments are next in line. Rumour also has it that our neighbour across the causeway may be influencing these decisions as a quid pro quo for helping in the current economic crisis.
Hopefully this influence won't also extend to dress code. Much as I sometimes envy the locals their attire when I'm having a bad hair day, I don't think I could ever get used to the abaya. Or is black my colour - what do you think?
