Christmas came in extravagant(奢侈的) fashion to the Muslim desert emirate(酋长国) of Abu

Dhabi as a shining hotel uncovered a bejeweled(饰以珠宝的) Christmas tree valued at more than

11 million dollars on Wednesday.

It is "the most expensive Christmas tree ever" with "a value of over 11 million dollars", said Hans

Olbertz, general of Emirates Palace Hotel, at its inauguratuion(落成典礼).

The 13-metre (40-foot) evergreen, located in the gold hall of the hotel, is decorated with silver

and gold bows, ball-shaped decorations and small white lights. But the necklaces, earrings and other

jewellery hung around the tree's branches are what give it a record value. "It holds a total of 181

diamonds, pearls, sapphires and other precious stones," said Khalifa Khouri, owner of Style Gallery,

which provided the jewellery.

"The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars," Olbertz said. "The jewellery has a value of over 11 million

dollars-I think $1,141,150."

"This will probably be an entry into the Guinness book of world records," Olbertz said, adding that

Emirates Palace planned to contact the organization about the tree which is to stay until the end of the

year.

Asked whether the tree might be against religious sensibilities in the United Arab Emirates, where

the vast majority of the local population are Muslim, Olbertz said he did not think it would. "It is a

liberal(自由的) country," he said.

The hotel has had a Christmas tree up in previous years, but this year "we have to do something

different", and the hotel's marketing team hatched the plan, said Olbertz.
