Those who collect
Aden postcards may notice that probably
around 1915, and certainly by the time the hotel
had changed name to Marina Hotel, the Turkish
Shop, which was run by I. Benghiat, had become M. Yahooda's
Universal Bazaar. At the other end of the building was The Star
Pharmacy. |

Today, 2007, the former
site of the Marina Hotel is a vacant block of land with
the Tawahi Police Station to it's right (looking from
the front). Apparently the hotel was bombed and burned
in 1967 and never rebuilt.
