As if Dubai’s 7-stars Burj al Arab Hotel wasn’t wonderful enough, the wealthy Arab sheics have created an even greater architectural wonder, the Atlantis. It cost over 1,5 billion dollars to build, but the investors are confident that they will recover their investment in just a few years, and at a minimum of $1,000 per room/night, they just might. The theme rooms, like Poseidon and Neptune go up to $8,000-$10,000 a night.

Built on the artificial island known as The Palm, Atlantis has 1373 room, 166 apartments, a giant fish-tank with 65,000 fish, a 170,000 square meters aqua park, artificial beaches, a lagoon and even an artificial river. Plenty of reasons to visit…if you can afford it.
