#1 Escaping blistering desert summers, Arabs can also take advantage of a growing sector in Turkey that caters to devout wealthy Muslims -- hotels where men and women have separate swimming pools and beach areas and alcohol is not served.

You gotta love the political correctness. Actually, Turkey is one of the few examples of Muslim countries with modern amenities and moderate weather where Arab tourists can legally (without harassment from the religious police) drink until they puke and hang out with discounted Eastern bloc hookers. As foreigners, they can do this in Malaysia and Indonesia, but the hot weather there is just more of the same.
