      I fully understand why they don't. They must be a nightmare to put on. I bagged groceries for my first job. I refused the requests for double paper inside plastic please. I kind of imagine requests to put an encasement on pretty equal to that. A pain that I didn't get paid enough to do. I was also 15 and didn't care about the job. I find a request for a mattress encasement to be ridiculous and uncalled for.

    Also, stings from those scorpions hurt really bad but wont kill. There's a rule that the smaller their pincers the more venomous they are lol.
    The baby ones are the most dangerous though ironically. Baby scorpions tend to push all their venom into their prey so they are more dangerous than adults who know how to control their poison, fun fact.

    • @mfbfreak
      @mfbfreak 5 місяців тому +7

      One thing that absolutely destroys roads are wet freeze/thaw cycles. If there's a hairline crack in the asphalt, water will seep in. It will eventually freeze and expand during a cold winter night, pushing the crack open further, letting in more water next time it rains, causing more expansion when it freezes, and rapidly causing a pothole this way. Compare it to putting a bottle of beer in the freezer and forgetting it.
      You could prevent it by using inpermeable asphalt, but you'd get tremendous aquaplaning when it rains. And in our parts of the world, oh lordy it can rain.
      In the desert, you only have to contend with the heat cycle, not with any water inside of the road freezing.
      The Netherlands spends loads of money on road maintenance, and we have quite good roads. But even here, every winter roads are getting rougher by the expansion of freezing water.

      Some places seem to put a big shower in the area that was originally a bath. Friends wanted a bath for their young child who is disabled and a bath is easier for her and they Couldnt even find an accessible room with a bath, eventually they got a place through a specialist charity but it seemed really difficult at the time.

    We have stayed there twice...Once during the off season and once during the busy season...Top three resort easily...However, just remember it is the desert. First time we stayed we fought off a hawk moth. Second time we stayed we battled two lizards/geckos....Both stays were in the villas with the private pools...

  • @craigcarter9859

    We went there a number of years ago. Really special. Stay a few nights if you can and try the landcrusier adventure where they go up and down the dunes.. 5/5 for service and views.

    • @Zigga.kepler

      Staying a few nights will definitely be a Hefty Cost tho. it will probably cost more than how much an average person in the UK makes per month.

    I'm flabbergasted, a hotel in the Middle East that is tasteful, relaxing and the kind of place you'd actually want to stay for a while.
    Mass tourism has a lot to answer for. I would like it if you stayed at a few more places like this, especially out of season. Its good to know it could be just about affordable at certain times of year!
