St, al-barsha; r from Dh320; iW) Classic Ibis:
a good deal with few frills but sparkling
clean rooms. If you’d rather drop your cash
in the adjacent mall than loll by the pool
or nosh on pillow treats, this is not a bad
place to hang your hat. Just remember that
you can’t hang much more than that in the
ship’s-cabin-sized rooms.cenTro barsha hoTel $
