Ruwa: A $5.5 Million Soft Drink Aimed At UAE's Wealthiest

Drinking alcohol in Islamic countries in the Middle East is considered unlawful. UK firm Beverage Company got the idea to conquer the UAE market by launching the world’s most expensive booze-free tipple named Ruwa. It is meant for those who do not wish to drink booze yet have a taste of the fine life.

Price per bottle is whopping 20 million Dirham ($5.5 million). Hand-carved crystal decanter containing Ruwa is encrusted with 8.000 diamonds, 200 rubies and two bars of white gold. John Edgar, Beverage Company boss, says he is optimistic it will be a hit in the Middle East. He said: This is the first luxury halal drink on the market. It is being marketed at high-end individuals, hotels and establishments.

If you have a problem to find a $5.5 million, there is also a low-budget version at just 3 million Dirham ($817,000).

It tastes of elderflower. And rose. It’s very different and has quite a strong taste, said Edgar. And of course, if you buy a bottle, we will provide refills.

Luxury Dining Room Ideas

dining-room-noir-cattelan-italia.jpg


A lingering hint of contemporary gothic pervades these luxury dining room ideas by Cattelan Italia. Black and white color schemes throughout simply demand attention… hints of sparkle add glitz and glamour. Imposing chairs and large tables offer an unexpected combination of angles and curves; the jutting metallic legs of the furniture are topped with ball-shaped protuberances. But this is a very modern gothic concept – each dining room decor idea offers startling contrasts. In the first look, it is the nature references that catch you off guard. A long painting of a reptile and a poised-to-pinch crab sculpture add an element of danger. Next, a huge black and white photo portrait contrasts with the highly ornate, delicately sculpted ceiling. Elegant, contemporary crystal chandeliers deliver a dazzling, heavy opulence to the dining rooms. Decor that is once seen and never forgotten… we love the dramatic impact and tantalising detailing.

Luxury Bridal Dresses In Red

Have you ever thought about wearing a red wedding gown on your wedding day?  Once upon a time that would have been unthinkable, but times are changing.  Red wedding gowns became popular on the runways about 10 years ago, and they are still hot for that bride who wants to make a truly unique statement on her wedding day.  Many wedding dresses in China, India, Africa and Vietnam are traditionally red.  In fact there are many weddings today in the western world where the bride will change into 2 or 3 or more gowns throughout the day.

In modern Chinese weddings, the bride usually wears the white Western dress and then changes from a white gown to a red gown or a gold gown for the reception.

South Indian weddings, the bride traditionally uses white saris. Indian brides in Western countries often wear the sari at the wedding ceremony and change into traditional Indian wear afterwards. 


In Japan, brides will often wear three or more dresses throughout the ceremony, and then with additional celebrations they choose the traditional kimono, white and colour dresses are often choosen. 

Not only is it hot, but you will never be forgotten!
