Unusual U.A.E. Properties & Unlikelier Dubai Residents

Dubai is truly terra extraordinaire. If there is anything that has to be yet attempted by a person living in Dubai then it is because someone has to still think of something novel.

Babu Sassi calls a crane cab on the tallest skyscraper on the planet home. It is definitely a most unusual Dubai property investment for a person to make. The South Indian construction worker says it is just too much trouble to travel all the way down after a hard day’s work and hence prefers the little cabin.

The rate for U.A.E. properties for sale at the Burj Dubai currently range from 2,145,244 to 4,226,755. Compared with Mr. Sassi’s ‘property’ price, it is definitely an up-gradation in both U.A.E. residential properties and their prices.

However, while Mr. Sassi owns an unusual home, there are even more unusual occupants you can come across in the Emirate. We are talking about the dolphins occupying the massive aquarium at the Atlantis Hotel in Palm Jumeirah. Twenty four of the mammals are currently in residence at The Atlantis much to the delight of the hotel residents.

U.A.E. Commercial Properties Update: The Queen Has Set The Flag Aflutter

The Queen has arrived, and the U.A.E. national flag has replaced the British Union Jack- just in time for U.A.E. National Day!

Luxury ocean liner the Queen Elizabeth 2 is undoubtedly a celebrity in old-world shipping circles. Dubai, in keeping with its penchant for flamboyance simply had to acquire the Grande Dame for its shores. What resulted was a deal between Istithma and Cunard, with £50 million filling the latter’s coffers and the liner gracing Dubai’s seas.

Once the luxury liner is renovated and deemed ready for business, investors in commercial property in Dubai can expect their registers to ring with joy. After all, eleven luxury boutiques including a Harrods branch made up the shopping arcade of the QE2 during its 39-year- long career.

Given Dubai’s love for shopping, it won’t be hard to imagine the shopping arcade of the freshly renovated ship, which will then be known as a 7-star hotel. Manfred Ursprunger, the CEO for QE2 Enterprises- a project completely dedicated to the refurbishment of the ship said, “We think that the ship still has another 50 years to go.”

The developers have their sights on retail, residence, entertainment and hotel development and hope to make the QE2 a destination for tourists and residents alike. Its address is going to be at the Palm Jumeirah island.

Do you think U.A.E. commercial properties on board the QE2 will be great for your business? SkyDome Properties can help you out in this area as well as with U.A.E. residential properties on the new QE2.
