ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Forget that the $3 billion Emirates Palace hotel, a gargantuan hall of marble slabs and riverine fountains, is probably the most expensive ever built.
OK, I do want to go there, but first I want to know, can I get Marriott or Hilton points for my stay? LOL

Kempinski may be partnered with them. The UAE has another mega project for a multi-billion dollar mosque. The late President of the UAE (Emir of Abu Dhabi) wanted to construct something that could be a rival to the Taj Mahal in the annals of history. ... but a love story and a power-hungry (nearly patricidal) child locking up his father for building a monument to a deceased wife makes for a better story than an oil-rich sheikh building a place of worship.
