September 8, 2017

I’ve now been to Alcazar lounge twice and absolutely loved it both times! I must point out this Is a shisha lounge but I don’t smoke shisha and it’s far from a ‘typical shisha lounge’ it has more of a restaurant vibe.

Feradje Abayas

February 22, 2017

Abayas are not only the most modest type of clothing for a woman to wear but they’re also the most elegant and sophisticated.
