| Doobabs of Dubai marvel as stunning show illuminates sky |
| 2008-11-22 |
| The buzzing city of Dubai shrugged off any signs of a credit crunch on Thursday and shelled out a whopping $20 million to launch what local press labeled the "party of the decade." The exclusive bash was in honor of Dubai's latest luxury hotel Atlantis and brought together 2,000 world celebrities and Middle East royalty for a concert, gourmet dinner, massive fireworks display and a trendy after party. "Marvel, as the Palm Island illuminates," said Bollywood star Priyanka Chopra--dressed as the 'Goddess of Atlantis'--as she introduced the spectacular fireworks show that set alight the world's only man-made island. "The fireworks show was a world-record event and I think it exceeded expectations and set the standard for future events in Dubai," a spokesperson of local developer Nakheel told AlArabiya.net, adding the event was "a significant milestone in Dubai's history." |
