Bahrain still uncivilized: The Reef security guards are like Dog: On my way back to USA from an Asian tour, stopped by the Reef to explore a possibility to purchase a vila, met with Ms. Soulayma Mouawad, the marketing manager and had a great discussion about the Reef project and how they are looking into foreign investors to buy/invest into their project, after my meeting, I asked her if I could drive by to get a feel of the place, she said absolutely I can.

Myself being a Muslim, honestly I did not see anything of muslim's hospitality, or respect to guests or treat guests with dignity from those people. Believe me, it looks very appealing from the internet pictures, but in real life, the Reef and most of the Bahrain was an empty...
