Before entering the Grand Mosque,
Jose was given a garment that covered
his legs. Steve was in blue jeans, so
he was dressed appropriately.

What $3 Billion, More or Less, Buys:
A Hotel Fit for Kings
By OTTO POHL
New York Times
Published: March 17, 2005
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, March 10 - At
roughly $3 billion, the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi,
which just opened to the public, is said to be the
most expensive hotel ever built.
The $3 billion price tag is actually an estimate. But a
few hundred million is a rounding error for this tiny
emirate: with 92 billion barrels in proven reserves,
every time the price of a barrel of oil rises by a dollar,
as it has in the last few days, Abu Dhabi could build
30 more of these hotels.
