Christmas came in extravagant fashion to the Muslim desert emirate of Abu Dhabi as a glitzy hotel unveiled a bejewelled 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." The 13-metre (40-foot) faux evergreen is decorated with silver and gold bows, ball-shaped ornaments and small white lights.
But the necklaces, earrings and other jewellery draped around the tree's branches are what give it a record value. It holds a total of 181 diamonds, pearls, emeralds, sapphires and other precious stones. The tree itself is about 10,000 dollars. The jewellery has a value of over 11 million dollars. Probably, this will be another Dubai entry into the Guinness book of world records.

本周三，阿布达比酋长国（阿拉伯联合酋长国之一）的一家奢华酒店将一棵挂满珠宝、价值1100万美元的圣诞树布置于酒店大堂内，本年度的圣诞节开始在这片土地上刮起了奢华风。
这棵价值价值1100万美元的圣诞树是“有史以来最贵的圣诞树”，上面用金、银弓，球形装饰等点缀着。
但这棵圣诞树的真正价值在于挂在树枝上的各式项链、耳环和珠宝。它承载了181颗钻石、珍珠、翡翠和宝石等。这棵树本身价值约1万美元，而这些珠宝的价值要超过1100万美元。也许它将成为继迪拜酒店后另一项进入吉尼斯纪录的杰作。
