    SPECIAL REPOPRT FROM NETA PEAL IN DUBAI, U.A.E.

    Coastweek - - A "Pyramid'' shaped hotel now dominates the skyline in
    Dubai.

    It is a development by 'Raffles' responsible for Raffles hotel in
    Singapore, one of the most famous hotels in the world.

    This new Dubai Raffles is a 19 storey Pyramid with 248 Suites palatial
    in style, in size and include a Royal, penthouse and presidential
    suite they are thermatically styled with Middle eastern and Asian
    designs.

    It is situated within the Wafi complex on Sheikh Zyed road and only
    five kilometres from the Dubai international airport.

    Also offered is the Raffles Amrita spa including seven treatment rooms
    Gym Sauna and Jacuzzi.

    A one hectare Raffles botanical garden culinary preferences spanning
    the globe are served at the eleven restaurants and bars.

    Located at the pinnacle of the new Raffles pyramid Dubai is the
    'Asiana' restaurant offering a new business lunch with tantalising
    flavours from the far East and mesmerising views from every seat.

    ¢ Raffles in Singapore was built in the French renaissance stlye
    and has been described as an architectural rarity it has been utilised
    for many different purposes including being taken over by others.

    It was renovated in 1991 to look very much as it was when first built.

    It had a British Colonial ambiance but was built by Armenian pioneers.

    It opened in November 1896 and gazetted as a National monument in
    1987.

    Among its guests, Royalty from Europe, Thailand, Japan, the middle
    East and Malaysia, writers like Rudyard Kipling, Somerset Maughan and
    Noel Coward, many Distinguished personalities and film stars.

    ¢ Development is the name of the game in Dubai: one of the latest
    being the introduction of trams.

    The 'AL Safoo' tram will transport up to 200,000 passengers a day.

    It will be the first tram to have a specific section designed for
    women and children only.

    The present demand for transport is badly needed as the roads are very
    congested.

    ¢ Meanwhile the Cargo arm of Emirates Airline has extended to
    China.

    The new Guangshou service will provide Chinese shippers with an
    additional 80 plus tonnes of weekly belly hold cargo capacity in each
    direction.

    Said Ram Mensen Divisional Senior Vice President Cargo:

    "The addition of Guangzhou to our network will offer shippers to and
    from Southern China even better connections to their trading partners
    around the world."
