Posted by This is the Atlantis Hotel and it cost a whopping £950 million to build! I thought there was a global credit crunch / recession??
The 1,539-room hotel is made up of two pale rose towers, which are linked by a bridge which houses a 35,000-dollar-a-night suite. Thats over £23,500 (based on current rates)!! The most expensive in the world perhaps? Insane!
Also paying guests can pay £75 to swim with dolphins for 90 minutes! Why anybody would want to do this for such a long time I have no idea! I don’t really agree with capturing animals and caging them in tanks for us to swim with.. Especially when they are supposedly the smartest mammals on the planet after humans?
Well, the hotel does look spectacular! look at the video below (after the short commercial) and see the fireworks display and opening ceremony yourself! By the way, did I mention the display alone cost £13 million!

That’s not all happening in Dubai as we speak..
Look at Dubai as it is right now from sky view, (click photos to see huge size)..
Then look at the building on the left in the photo.
That’s the Al Burj! The one next to it is the currently-under-construction Burj Dubai (world’s current tallest building). Impressive or what!? Apparently it will tower 1200 metres over the ground! Another visit to Dubai for me then in a few years when it’s done!
