"with coffee shops, restaurants, and exercise equipment found conveniently at regular intervals along the way"

I think there is a Costa Cafe & A Sheesha shop available for my understanding along the Corniche. Please correct me if i am wrong. There should be more public rest room facilities along the way.

Apart from this, I think the author make justification on other points.

Btw: Thank you for the post. Kindly write some thing about RAMADAN and if possible, highlight no to waste food. (It's a kind request only). Your article is good.
