Long known for the “biggest,” the “most expensive,” the “richest” or the “most exclusive;” Dubai once again is attempting to be the most. Currently hosting the tallest building in the world, the most expensive hotel room, the richest horse racing purse, the largest professional golf tournament prize money and the only 7 star hotel in the world; Dubai will now attempt to have the “most activities” of any Middle Eastern City this New Years Eve.
An unofficial plan that has seen businesses team with promoters from around the world, is calling in all the heavy weights from their respective industries. Sir Elton John and Bollywood star Sunny Sarid of India to football’s Ronaldo and Disney’s Cinderella; Dubai plans over 3850 public events around the time. Glamour parties aboard multi-million dollar yachts are open to anyone who buys a ticket. Helicopter flights to private islands are open to the public for fireworks in the Persian Gulf. With a resident population of about 1.4 million, Dubai will have one event open to the public for every 363 persons.
