Dubai will build the world's longest hotel strip at a cost of $27 billion, developers said Monday. "Bawadi" will include 31 hotels, many theme-based, offering more than 29,000 rooms projected to host 3.3 million guests by 2016, said Saeed Al Muntafiq, chief executive of Tatweer, which will develop and manage the project.
The development will be constructed on a 10km strip of land with total investment estimated at 100 billion dirhams ($27.2bn), Muntafiq told reporters and tourism industry executives.
