The World’s most expensive Christmas tree at Emirates Palace

The Emirates Palace in the Abu Dhabi displays what they clam to be the most expensive Christmas tree in the whole world.

Now do I hear, “How much? How much?!”

The jewel ornaments hanging on this Christmas tree sums up to around £7 million or roughly $11 million. It is surely a Christmas setup to put all the spot lights on the hotel and set them apart from all the luxury hotels in the region.

The plan for the Christmas décor is to have something different. Indeed, they have achieved this purpose and the hotel is now convincing the Guinness Book of World Records for a certification.  According to the hotel management, the Christmas tree will also not raise brows in the region since Abu Dhabi is a pretty liberal place even with Muslims comprising the majority of the population.

The 13-meter bejewelled Christmas tree is set at the lobby of the 302-room Emirates Palace. It is pretty amazing to see expensive bracelets, watches, and necklaces adorning a Christmas tree.

The official count of precious stones, sapphires, emeralds, pearls, and diamonds is at 181 mixed with the other traditional ornaments.

Aside from being the most expensive, we are pretty sure this is the most heavily guarded Christmas tree in the world, with security details on a round the clock basis.
