The AUDI its all in SILVER. The sheik
Shaikh, also rendered as Sheik, Shaykh or Sheikh (Arabic: شيخ), is a word in the Arabic language meaning elder of a tribe, lord, revered old man, or Islamic scholar. A daughter or wife of a Sheikh (lord) is sometimes called Sheikhah (Arabic: شيخة).

The term literally means a man of old age, and is used in that sense in Qur'anic Arabic. Later it came to be a title meaning leader, elder or noble, especially in the Arabian Peninsula, where shaikh became a traditional title of a Bedouin tribal leader in recent centuries.

The title is not only used by Muslims; it is also used by Arab Christians for elder men of stature, showing that it is independent of religion. Its usage and meaning is similiar to the latin senex meaning old man, from which the English "senator" is derived. It is also used to refer to scholars of various Islamic sciences such as faqihs, muftis, and muhaddiths.

In Sufism tariqah (orders), it is an honorific for an elder sufi who has been authorized by the order to teach, initiate and guide aspiring dervishes. For more details please read Shaykh of Sufism.

In the Persian Gulf, the title is used for men of stature, whether they are managers in high posts, wealthy business owners, or local rule.

WOW!!
u kinda started a thread of a single post!! that's one of the biggest off-topic posts iv seen

yah what u wrote is true, but i think its hard for western people 2 understand all of it, unless ur famillier with the arabic traditions

to be very precise, each country has people who are related to the king, prince, president or sultan, even from a far side, cuz there are thousands in some countres (specially arab countries)...

here in Oman we call them the royal family, or the ruling family, but there in UAE, they call them shiekhs...

so there's a difference between Oman shiekhs and UAE shiekhs

but you have monarchy as the system and you have shiekhs and the others are what ? that people related to the king has silver cars and the majority his poor. The ayatollahs gather that people to strike the west. Its off topic because you have probably the best hotel but in the worst scene of poverty, so i wouldnt go there even if they pay me the tour.

ok, so the flaming starts here or what?? did i offend u when i said that ur post is off-topic???

i didnt understand ur reply 100%...

part of what u said is true, yah the people related to the king are rich (isnt that the case in most countries???)

and who says that we have the best hotel in the worse scene of poverty?? UAE has mostly people in good conditions...

and what does this have 2 do with ayatollah??!!

[N1]

no that isnt the case in west, uae has the richest but you have the worst poverty in arab world and ayatollahs are religious sheiks that control countries against the west. The best arab hotel only to show the theory and practice of islamic world against west. THE END

I stayed at the St. Regis in New york last year, thought it was decent travel lodgings I had a memorable stay...

I must say that the Willard Intercontinental here in DC is a 1st class operation, as well. Wonderful service...

no, u dont talk about arabs and say "THE END", u dont know UAE like i do, and it doesnt have that big percentage of poor people..

and dont tell me that the kings families in europe are poor people...

and i still cant understand what's the relation of the hotel and the islamic practice against the west...
(mind u, Burj Al Arab hotel has a big cross in its design, so i dont think it can b an example of the islamic practice against the west...)

We stayed at the Grand in May and loved it...but we will back to the 4 Seasons next door in a couple weeks!

Honestly, the pools there can use some renovating as there are many dirty/missing tiles especially in the main 'adult' pool...the slides were awesome fun though...

"they're" and "that's". People admit that they're Christian. Why not Muslim, Jewish....?
