Sober in Ramadan

If it wasn't my b'day I wouldn't mind traveling sober.
But - sorry - no way this time. That's just bad timing, Ramadan in Morocco. I thought, we can fix it.
If we were back on Russia, now worries, 100 places would sell any kind a stuff "from under the stall".
Morocco, we firstly tried a regular restaurant. Didn't work out. Then the french "Auchan" supermarket followed - 0% beer only. Then the huge "Marjan". Empty stalls, alco-section was closed.
"Should you respect the month of Ramadan," - the shopkeeper remarked.
And we had to crash to ***-hotel instead of beautiful Riyad, because only what's higher then 3 stars is allowed to have bars for tourists 365 days a year.

P.S. Even for this deficit all alcohol was cheap - 4 EUR for J&B. Yup, seems that they just don't drink here.
