$400m Makeover for Saddam’s Palace
Posted on 13 April 2011.
Kings, presidents and emirs are invited to a former Saddam palace for the Arab League summit in May.
Saddam Hussein’s former palace in Baghdad has been completely renovated in preparation for the historic summit.
The palace, which has a history as tumultuous as the country’s, has been given a $400m makeover. Many hope the gleaming structure will show that Iraq, too, has been restored to its former glory.
Baghdad’s Al Rasheed Hotel has also been renovated.
