Dubai to Build World's First Hotel with a Full-Size Airbus A380 Perched on Its Roof


Dubai, a city renowned for defying architectural limits with the Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab, is set to unveil its next record-breaking marvel: a £600 million skyscraper hotel with a full-size Airbus A380 aircraft parked on its roof.


The audacious Emirates Air Hotel project, slated to open in 2029, will soar 580 metres into the sky. Its most jaw-dropping feature is the decommissioned superjumbo jet fixed to its pinnacle, designed not just for show but to house exclusive luxury experiences for guests.

A Cockpit Bar and "Glass-Wing" Views

The A380 on the roof is engineered to be a functional entertainment venue. Plans include a unique **cockpit bar**, premium dining areas, and panoramic observation decks built into the aircraft's wings, offering guests dramatic glass-wing views over the sprawling city below. The concept aims to create an unprecedented blend of aviation heritage and ultra-luxury hospitality.

Part of a Futuristic New District

The hotel is a key component of the massive Dubai Creek Harbour development, an area touted as the Middle East's answer to Manhattan. With an estimated budget of £20 billion, the district is designed to rival the world's greatest financial and cultural centres.

At its heart will be the Dubai Creek Tower, a spire designed by famed architect Santiago Calatrava that is projected to become the world's tallest structure upon completion, aiming for iconic status on par with the Eiffel Tower.

The Emirates Air Hotel represents the latest chapter in Dubai's relentless pursuit of architectural innovation and global attention, turning a familiar symbol of travel into a permanent fixture of its ever-evolving skyline.

Sheikh Gumi Alleges Foreign Powers are Financing Terrorists in Nigeria

Prominent Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has accused unnamed foreign nations of supporting terrorist groups in Nigeria, citing a sudden reversal of security gains in recent months as evidence of external interference. In a significant and provocative claim, Nigerian Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has alleged that international actors are providing backing to terrorists operating within the country. During an interview with the BBC Hausa Service, Sheikh Gumi pointed to deteriorating security in areas that had shown marked improvement. He specifically highlighted the Abuja-Kaduna highway, which had become safer for travelers, and the farmlands around Birnin Gwari in Kaduna State, where farmers had cautiously returned to their fields after years of abandonment. "The situation on the ground contradicts earlier signs of improvement," Gumi stated, arguing that the recent surge in attacks suggests renewed support for armed groups. "This sudden rever...

Intelligence-led operation in Jebba uncovers healthcare professional allegedly aiding criminal networks. In a significant breakthrough, Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a licensed medical doctor for his alleged role in supporting kidnapping gangs terrorizing parts of Kwara State.
