Abu Dhabi offers first US$1 million holiday
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. (World Travel Guide)
Giving weapons to people who you've just handed a million-dollar bill to doesn't sound like the sharpest idea to me....
Bet they charge extra for a room service breakfast, though...
especially if you choose the deluxe option, where it is served to you by former Friends cast members wearing suits made of vintage money that is more valuable per bill than real money.
