Atlantis Dubai - Finally Open

Much ado about nothing? Well, see for yourself...


The Grand Opening of Atlantis (DUBAI) - The best video clips are right here

Kylie Minogue performed last night for the opening of this much talked about hotel in the middle of the Palm Village. Charlize Theron was also there to grace the ocassion. Samantha Ronson, the famous other half of Lindsay Lohan rocked the party for 2,000 VIPs only. It was so exclusive that even the residents of the Palm Village had to show proof that they live there.

Well, in fairness, I have been in the Palm Village and I have seen the structure of this hotel. It's not bad I tell you. I just hope they used the money instead to help the indigent children of the world or supported charitable institutions. Enough said...

Sky Bridge Hotel in Abu Dhabi

This is really amazing. What you're about to see is nothing we have seen so far in great infrastructure developments happening in this part of the world - Middle East, specifically in Abu Dhabi which is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai has been hogging the limelight for a while with its so many firsts like The Palm Village, The World, The Burj al Arab, The Burj Dubai and the now becoming famous Atlantis.

Well, with this new project of Abu Dhabi, Dubai will have to take a back seat for a while. See the pictures below and you're looking at the future of mega-infrastructure. I see it like a big blimp!

This hotel will be built between the Abu Dhabi corniche and Lulu Island. It will have 264 rooms and 40 suites with roof garden, restaurants and commercial areas just like any other hotels.
