Last week, the tabloids were animatedly discussing the news of the arrival of the most expensive Christmas tree in Abu Dhabi. However, wealth and luxury do not always evoke associations with good taste. In particular, the management of the Emirates Palace hotel, where a gorgeous tree covered with jewels is installed, has already seriously regretted their experiment.

Recall that the tree itself, just over 12 meters high, installed at the Emirates Palace, costs only 10 thousand. However, in addition to traditional gold balls, tinsel and garlands, expensive watches and jewelry with precious stones - pearls, emeralds, sapphires and even diamonds - are hung on it. Observers counted only 181 gems. The Christmas tree, which has a total cost of about 11 million, sparkles and burns with fire from the lower branches to the spire. The security of the decorations on the tree is monitored around the clock by security guards, as well as by video surveillance cameras.

In the UAE, where the majority of residents are Muslim, Christmas trees are a must-have festive attribute of winter. In many hotels and shopping centers, Christmas trees are set up as a sign of respect for the traditions of foreigners who come to the UAE for the winter holidays, Lenta.ru notes.

According to the hotel manager Hans Olberz, having installed the most luxurious Christmas tree, the hotel owners wanted to enter the Guinness Book of Records.

However, now representatives of the hotel note that, having installed such a spruce, they overdid it with a desire to capture the spirit of Christmas. According to the hotel representatives, the precious tree is a tasteless and unprofessional creation of the jeweler working for the hotel. At the same time, the official statement of the hotel says that the responsibility for decorating the tree rests entirely with the jeweler, and the hotel itself has become only a platform for demonstrating the fruits of his labor.
