Yeah as SDragon said, on the bottom of the page is states: Origins: These pictures are indeed real photographs of an impressive palatial structure, but — contrary to the claims made in the accompanying text — they evidently do indeed depict a hotel, not a private home. These are images of the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), a facility that “boasts 302 superior rooms and 92 magnificent suites each combining the ultimate in luxury with 22nd century technology.” (How they managed to obtain technology a hundred years in advance of the stuff available to the rest of us is something we haven’t yet figured out.) Other pics are available at: [http://www.destdubai.com/Abu\_Dhabi/emirates\_palace\_abu\_dhabi.html](http://www.destdubai.com/Abu_Dhabi/emirates_palace_abu_dhabi.html) HAHAHAHAHA sheik his hand ---

I have some family members from Greece that work in Saudi Arabia they work for a company called SETE in Jeddah and in Riyadh and I also have an friend from UK who works for Shell/Hellix in S.A. and they were all showing me pictures and videos of some of the palaces and mansions etc. that some of these guys in S.A. own and it’s sick! You will never see shit like that in North America, here we watch these shows that show the houses of these movie starts, professional athletes and singers etc. and we are like WWWWOOOWWW! If you guys see the shit they got there it will blow your mind! [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/time-to-piss-everyone-off/88431.md?page=5)
