The Garden in front of Abela
Run of the mill park ("garden") that's home to 2 mosques at either end and a large, colorful (and slightly tacky) fountain in the middle. There is a path that encircles the park's permiter, as well as a few that criss-cross it. There are pleny of benches and quite a few lampposts.
Crowd: Mostly Pakistanis and Indians (laborers looking to get off); occasional Filipino; Arab guys of various nationalities every once in a while, though not very often. Pretty much all ages from ~18-up. All shapes and sizes.
Neighbourhood: Khalidiya

It's right on the Corniche, between the Abela Supermarket building (long, green & white) and the Union Bank tower (the golden building beside the Hilton Bainunah). It's got 2 mosques (one for men, one for women) separated by a fountain

Cross street: Corniche Rd - Hours:24/7/365
Best times: Friday-Tuesday nights, after 10PM. Wednesday-Thursday nights=picnics and families that stay there til the wee hours of the morning
Dates open: 24/7/365 - Cruising Info/ Tips:You'll find guys walking around for "exercise", yet what they're really doing is scoping out potential partners. Make eye contact followed by a look at the crotch. A casual grab or scartch to the crotch won't hurt. Walk past your potential mate and then look back; if he's looking at you, too, then you're set. Some guys like to give a low/short whistle or "Pssst" when passing by you.
The best place for some action is at either end of the park, where there is little light and plenty of cover.
Cruisiest Spots: The whole park - Wheelchair Accessible:No
- Warnings:Most of the cruisers are manual laborers from the subcontinent who've just come off duty, so if you're not into STINKY, sweaty Pathans and/or Indians, then you'll probably not want to waste your time.
Some of the men tend to take a particular interest in you and will not leave you alone, even after several rejections.
Most are tops, so don't expect your to be or anything.
Warnings: This being a Muslim country and all, be very careful with whom you initiate contact. Stay away from locals (identifiable by their long, usually white dishdashas)--you never know if they're there for fun or to arrest you. Just use common sense.
