$5M for the rehabilitation + $50M for the grand opening ceremony = $55M

the hotel developments in basra are mainly for all the tens of thousands of oil and gas people from around the world converging on basra which will become in the next 6 years the biggest oil producing region ON EARTH.

im glad they got rid of those ugly wooden window things

MKTJ · August 28th, 2010, 07:14 AM

hmmm, I think wooden balconies fit the "traditional design" of the hotel more than the glass cladding.
