Arts & Culture
Our kids love the Snake Park on site that actually has many other animals and just a few snakes!
The actual museum is old fashioned but a type of museum that is dying out around the world! Catch it while it's still around!

Kids can make their own Pizza and then play on the playground! Most dishes are large enough to share! We love the Sultani Platter with Beef and Lamb! Kebabs are also nicely done! Upstairs there is a lovely Arabian Hang Out area with Romance! The mature garden have lovely flowering trees and the restaurant is Kosher/ Halal.
