RAFAHIYE

He is out on the water, paddling at his own pace, the sea wide and easy around him. A couple more paddle boarders drift in the distance, small against the open Mediterranean. A young man decided today was a good day to be on the water, and was right. Rafahiye (رفاهية) means recreation in Arabic — leisure, ease, the simple right to enjoy an afternoon. That is exactly what this is.
