Naranj – Old Damascus

While roaming around Old Damascus, specially when my sister was busy with the delegation.. I tend to just randomly go into the alleyways! I never got lost, but always managed to discover new places and -ahem- restaurants! Not to mention the grand tour I had during my second day in Damascus!

Anyways… I passed by a restaurant called Naranj, which translates to (نارنج) – some sort of orange specie -bitter one- in Syria.

I entered the restaurants, it was still day time… I looked into their menu and took a couple of pictures

I know the place is kind of newly opened in Kuwait, so I really wanted to try this one in Syria and then the one in Kuwait so I can compare the two.. I marked it as a must visit at a later time when my other sisters and nephew join in from Kuwait

A couple of days later, after their

Tea W/ Abu Shady At Nawfara Cafe

During my day tour with Mohammed (link) I spotted this sign of Nawfarah Cafe (مقهى النوفرة) – meaning The Fountain

I remember I read about it on the Internet… there is (still to-date) a “Hakawati” (حكواتي) storyteller that comes to this coffee shop at night named Abu Shady (أبو شادي)! I was determined to pass by the cafe during my stay!

I came at different times and asked the staff… they informed me that he comes around 5:00-5:30PM

The cafe is located behind the

LAZRUD

I passed by LAZURD with my friend Amna S. a couple of weeks ago and was in love with the store… the display, the staff! I mean everything was nicely presented and the staff members although busy with customers, they were all smiles…

They invited me to come back again at a less crowded time to be able to pictures freely and taste as many items as much as I want. So we went back again, and this time the chef was there to greet us 😉

At first we were greeted with a mini cup of some sort of a blueberry shot drinks 😉

Then we took the tour inside the store… which is really small, but very nicely arranged… The chef was around to explain each of the items on display with the fabulous Myriam… So lets take the virtual tour inside the store now, shall we?

The store is decorated

Armani Hotel Dubai

In case you’re wondering, specially my non-tweet-followers, where I disappeared to this weekend!! Well, I went to Dubai with my favorite cousin and her daughters! It was a very short yet very eventful weekend! We were there on a mission, and the mission was accomplished 😉 Other than that… we enjoyed our time to the max and ran into so many family and friends in Dubai Mall!

We arrived Dubai on Thursday afternoon… the plane was kinda full, and the airport was crowded… we headed to our hotel, Armani Hotel Dubai. I have decided to make this my first review of this short trip… so lets go in, shall we 😉 ??

The hotel is situated in Burj Khalifa, which is so close by Dubai Mall! We got into the lobby and waited for our lifestyle manager to proceed with the check-in! We were four, so we got

Hotel Missoni – Kuwait

Earlier this year, I was contacted by Hotel Missoni team – from Mr. Hila Saade the Director of Sales & Marketing to be exact, to tour the hotel. I was busy back then… then I left to Syria for vacation.. and then towards the end of February everyone was busy celebrating Kuwait’s national and liberation days… I didnt get the chance to take the grand tour till earlier this month 😉

The hotel is located in Salmiya, opposite AUK, right where Symphony Mall is! I was greeted by the very friendly staff and waited in their colorful hotel lobby for Mr. Hilal Saade to come… few minutes later comes Mr. Saade with a huge welcoming smile on his face 😀

I snapped like 80+ pictures, but opted (and agreed with Mr. Saade) to pick only a few, and leave the rest for your imagination 😛

We started the tour by viewing their rooms…

Everything in the hotel screams MISSONI with their lively colors!

It is categorized as a
