The roof has tennis courts and a helicopter pad. You can land on the roof and be in your 3 story penthouse suite in minutes! The cocktail lounge is on the 27th floor was very elaborate. Would you believe my glass of French Riesling was $30? Dinners are from $300 and up.

Our guide told us that most of the skyscrapers they are now building will be torn down in 40 years because they will not withstand the high desert temperatures. Some buildings are already having structural problems. Then why are they continuing to build? Because there is so much money here and they don’t know what to do with it!

It’s hard to believe that we were just across the Persian Gulf from Iran and Pakistan and in the most westerly part of the Gulf was Iraq. It was thrilling to be in this part of the world, but difficult to absorb everything we saw and learned.
