Hot Desert Nights

Mischa Barton flew all the way to the United Arab Emirates to attend the opening of Atlantis, The Palm Resort in Dubai. The ultra-luxury hotel cost an estimated $1.5 billion dollars to build and boasts 1,539 rooms.
Australian pop queen Kylie Minogue was reportedly paid $3.5 million to perform at the opening. Not a bad gig!
Michael Jordan looked dapper in a dark suit. Fortunately for the living legend, November is one of Dubai's coolest months. In the summer, the average temperature swells to 103 degrees.
Did Mary-Kate Olsen make her dress out of a tablecloth?
Lindsay Lohan looked long and lean in her LBD.
Wonder if Charlize Theron stayed in the $25,000/night signature suite, which features floor to ceiling views of the desert city.

hi

I think Dubai is gearing up to bring in the Olympics to the Middle East for 2012 from London. Or else why would any country splash so exorbitantly on an opening ceremony. I think Dubai has started to believe that it has the financial muscle to stage the games in a better way compared to recession hit UK.
I have stayed in Dubai for 2 years and the place is fantastic, it is really growing as a premium business center of Asia and in the coming days Dubai has a bright future.

Yes I totally agree with Mr. that Dubai being the Switzerland of the Middle East. Dubai have the higher skyscraper in the world almost completed on his elevation yes am talking about Burj dubai tallest tower in the world. The burj dubai tower willbe one the most visited attraction in the world with restaurant, business corporate floor, view room.
Thanks
