romantic getaway with amazing views

family room rooftop terrace
The rooftop terrace provided a amazing panorama, a perfect backdrop for our breakfasts. our family room had an interconnecting door. The layout offered both togetherness and privacy. i especially cherished the fine view of the blue mosque from our room. the staff was accommodating, meeting all our requests with a smile.
The walls seemed thin, and i could hear noises from adjacent rooms. This made resting a little difficult.
