Atlantis, The Palm – Dubai October 12, 2008

Inspired from the legendary island of Plato and the original Atlantis of the Bahamas, a new Atlantis rose on the shores of Palm Jumeirah-Dubai in September 2008. Astonishingly, this resort cost nearly 1.5 Billion dollars to build. It consists of two towers linked by a bridge, with a total of approximately two thousand rooms. There are two Palm Jumeirah Monorail stations connecting the resort to the main section of the Palm Jumeirah islands. The resort also includes a water theme park (160,000 square meters), a conference center, and 20,000 square feet (1,900 m²) of retail space.

You must be wondering how much a room costs in such a resort/hotel. Well, I first heard of numbers ranging from 500 – 20,000 $ US dollars; looked it up afterwards and found THIS. I think it ranges from 500 – 2,500$ a night.

Since such numbers are hard to imagine by the human mind, got some Pictures to share
