The Most Expensive Sofa in the World

We have found it - a sofa fit for a Sheikh! If you have a spare €100,000 and fancy sitting in luxury, this is the way to do it. Entitled Aymantion, the sofa is diamond encrusted and limited edition with only 50 been made. And now the search is on to find the buyer for the ultimate the sofa in the UAE. Qatar has bought in, as has Thailand and Brazil.



But no one has yet bought number 1, the ultimate sofa selling for €130,000. That's nearly 700,000 Dirhams. If this isn't the ultimate in bling. The company is called Plumebanche, from Paris - and if you do have that much money that you are going to rush out and lock down your diamond-studded platinum buttoned super blinging screams of money sofa, then let me know, I'd love to sit for few minutes to say I have had the privilege.

Grapeshisha Redux

We've been a little quiet recently, but we have been hard at work. And now we have something to show! We hope you like the new redesigned site. We think it gives Dubai and Abu Dhabi a fresh new look - and we want to thank all those that helped make it happen. Yes, we're new an improved in time for UAE's 40th birthday celebrations!



If you do like it, you can help us by spreading the word.

1. Clicking on the Like button above on the right. That will tell your Facebook friends that you like Grapeshisha (the site, and maybe even the flavour!)
2. By tweeting about grapeshisha
3. By emailing a friend - especially those who are looking at visiting the UAE
4. By picking up the phone
5. By telling your friends (in person) over a puff of grapeshisha.

When we started grapeshisha, we didn't have twitter, facebook or the like button. But when we started grapeshisha, it was over some grapeshisha, of course. Times have certainly changed.

You can book hotels and book flights with our comparison engines (for anywhere in the world, mostly.) There are long lists of things to do in Dubai, and things to do in Abu Dhabi as well as many other interesting things. It's always evolving and a work in progress, and we hope to add lots more as the months fly by.

Thanks again to everyone for your support!
