[MEIST - Dubai -Abu Dhabi 1, 2, 3, 4 - Jordan]
After packing up and loading into the bus, we made our way to our only scheduled visit of the day, the Emirates Palace Hotel. Often, many of us have expressed displeasure at how marketing has over sold products and under delivered. That was what I first expected when I heard of the Emirates Palace Hotel. However, I was surprised when we arrived.
The hotel itself is a proper palace with enormous rooms (the top floor has 6 rooms for each of the Sheikh’s of the GCC countries.) There was a great deal of gold, high ceilings and lavish accommodations. One of the nicer suites we were shown would go for 100k DHS per night (about $20k USD). There is also a $1M USD package where you are picked up in a jet and given extravagent service. We were also treated to high tea with a fabulous spread of sandwiches and coffee service.
After our visit, we made our way to the airport and only recently arrive in Jordan where we will be spending the last leg of our Middle East tour.
