Guess where this is?

[Brian Ellis]

Well, I'm fairly certain that they are not intended to be permanent residences, possibly with stays of a week or even less.

[Alice]

Is it in Germany?

[Brian Ellis]

Not in Europe

[Brian Ellis]

Asia and in a town close to a sea.

[degrub]

How about Bandar Seri Begawan , Sultanate of Brunei ?

[Brian Ellis]

Nope! You are far too far to the east. It is more Middle East than Far East and the sea is not part of an ocean.

[degrub]

Red Sea then ? southern Israel ? near Masada ?

[SitFlyer]

Maybe somewhere around the Dead Sea?

[Brian Ellis]

Now you are too far west!!! Think inland and some big fish.

[degrub]

hmmm how about Sturgeon and Caspian Sea ? Must be a resort - maybe people taking a cure ? Volga delta, Astrakan ? maybe Tinaki salt lake mud treatment ?

[Brian Ellis]

Yes the town is on the Caspian but not in Russia or ex-USSR.

[Fat Tone]

Iran?

[Brian Ellis]

Iran? Yes! The town or location?

[Belwarrior]

Hmm.. is it Nur or spelled Noor in Iran? (think it means light or bright in arabic)

[Brian Ellis]

Yes, it is a hotel near Noor. I have doubts about its meaning, though, as Arabic is not spoken there! The local language is Farsi.

Your turn!
