Al Manal Specialized Centre
Al Manal Health Club has come back as Al Manal Specialized Centre. It sounds like a medical clinic, but I have not been inside yet to see if this is just another word game.
If anyone stops by, please post.
Drive on the motorway past Al Manal
I was on the motorway about quarter to 9pm tonight, and Al Manal had many blue lights and the parking outside looked very busy.
Answer to my own question
Today I went to Al Manal Physical Therapy. I was taken to a room that said "SORTWAVE THERAPY" on the door. Inside was a Thai lady and a massage table.
At reception I saw Laura (western looking Kazakh that told me a few years ago I could finish myself or she would use scissors) and Lisha (75kg Indian). There was a really cute western looking Kazakh, but she said she is there in reception only.
Places I saw but didn't go into
There is a building in Ghala that has 3 massage places in it. It is not far from the old Oscar Healthy Club. Here is the simplest way to get there:
From Al Khuwair head on new motorway past Bausher dunes towards Majan Hotel/Royal hospital. After the huge intersection and stop lights, and near the football stadium, you will reach a small roundabout. Take a right. At the T in the road you will see Al Muojanah Health CLub and a 2 other signs directly in front of you.
1st floor- I went in and there was one that looked like a Thai lady and 2 that looked like really bad ladyboys. I almost went straight home after seeing them.
A higher floor- I saw a room that looked like a reception with Arabic writing next to the door and heard Asian sounding voices laughing from nearby flats.
Even higher- There were 2 Moroccan/Tunisian looking ladies that couldn't speak English and had a menu with RO 15 for a massage. They were not attractive.
I was so disgusted I went straight to the Thai place opposite CCC 2nd Cup Coffee.
During the summer, health clubs ran underground. Does anyone know what happened since the Municipality became strict? They all seem to be playing word games and have opened up for public business.
Al Reem Health Club for Men (Ghubra)
I used to go here some months back. I walked in a few weeks ago and some of the ladies in the reception seemed more masculine than me. I asked the receptionist if they had any ladies and it said in a deeper voice than my own "only ladyboys. "
I left.
If you see a sign that says "Health Club for Men" do not enter if you are looking for women, as there will not be any women past the front door.
