Abu Dhabi offers first US$1 million holiday

(22 July 2008)

A luxury hotel in the United Arab Emirates has unveiled the world's most expensive holiday, with a seven-day break at the hotel costing US$1 million (£500,000).

Abu Dhabi's 7-star Emirates Palace Hotel will offer two people 'the ultimate holiday experience', which will include two first-class airline tickets to the city, followed by a booking in the hotel's Palace Suite - three gold, silver and marble bedrooms with a giant plasma television screen.

Those lucky enough to be able to stump up the cash will be able to take a private jet on day trips to Bahrain to dive for pearls, Iran to choose hand-woven Persian carpets and the Dead Sea for health treatments.

Other perks will include your own golf course, a personal butler, free designer perfume and a complimentary shotgun.

Past guests at the exclusive Emirates Palace Hotel include Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez and Sir Elton John.
