Gee whiss like you'd better get your priorities right or you'll never make a sheik!
Well you have to realise that the sheiks don't really have all that much spare cash to spend on those luxuries.
You see they really really REALLY need hotels built in the sea, or at the top of mountains. All those people pestering them about the thousands of pakistani workers and their awful conditions...no wonder they need some serious "me time"!
The night I went there I went to the roof of my building and thought I was high from lack of sleep as I was seeing a stairway to heaven...but no such luck.
I was informed that the sheik of that emirate decided one day that he'd like a hotel RIGHT ON TOP OF THIS BIG ASS MOUNTAIN for his international friends(not for use for us common folks by the way) There wasn't so much as a road on it before he came along. Now there's a huge hotel with big security and a really long seriously windy highway (The lights on the road were my stairway).
Now don't tell me thats not money spent for the common good.
