I seem to love the plans for Abu Dhabi more and more as I come across them, I mean look at Yas Isand, Spectacular. This palace looks amazing, I guess Emirates Palace and elsewhere was not enough!

***bizzybonita*** · July 25th, 2009, 11:36 AM

Is this Palace will open for public ! i hope so ...

docc · July 25th, 2009, 11:51 AM

I think it will be the official residence of the Royal family.

***bizzybonita*** · July 25th, 2009, 12:06 PM

I hope not they can build thousand of palace in thousand of island in AD but not close to Emirate Palace which is for public used !

only six helipads....must be a recession

docc · July 25th, 2009, 02:19 PM

I'm surprised they don't have a runway in there.

Adam2707 · July 25th, 2009, 02:23 PM

Honestly, I don't know what to say....what can you say?

And I can't believe this is already under construction without us knowing till now.
Why hasn't this been in the papers, etc.?

docc · July 25th, 2009, 02:29 PM

Cost approximately a billion AED?

gerald.d · July 25th, 2009, 02:31 PM

Unless there's a submarine dock underneath the main building, colour me unimpressed.

More than that I can imagine.

Emirates Palace cost something like $900 million.
I would say about the same price. It depends if they want everything to be done in gold or not.

nanaheyhey · July 25th, 2009, 07:50 PM

Ugh! How hideously wasteful!

And what about the "Ladies' and Childrens' Beach" on Ras Al Akhdhar that has been under redevelopment for several years? It was quite a large project, and a lot of work had been done on it already. Is it just going to be demolished?

Disgusting.

Emirates Palace was $3-4billion, 11aed billion+. This will probably be in the $5-8billion dollar range, 16-20aed billion+. That is speculation mind you, but it seems fair enough based on the Palace's price. Staggering sums far surpassing the Burj Dubai.

Will it be open for visits?

must7 · February 18th, 2010, 02:54 PM

I was of the impression that there were 3 palaces to be made at Ras Al Akhdar (ex-Umm Al Naar area) ... This is near the existing palace !

nanaheyhey · February 18th, 2010, 05:13 PM

Is Ras Al Akhdar not beside the Emirates Palace, as shown in this post? I thought the 'new name' for Umm Al-Nar was Sas Al-Nakl.

Ooops .. Mae Kulpa .. yes it must have been at Ras Al Akhdar (i.e; Ladies beach area) rather than near Sas Al Nakheel (ex-Umm al Naar) area.

It is clear now ...
