Deep into the souk, the England hotel is a brilliant location.
The beauty of the Souq Al Wakra Hotel is that you actually feel you are somewhere completely different. It is like a mini walled city, you walk through a series of labyrinths to get out to the other side where there is a beach, a promenade lined with coffee shops and restaurants. You can get a camel ride if you want.
And yet the only way you’d know something different is going on is a few security guards dotted around, perched on stools trying to stay awake to keep an eye on their post.
