Revealed: GCC's 10 most expensive luxury hotels

 The Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai is the most expensive hotel in the Middle East, according to a new survey by Luxury-Hotels.com.

The survey compared all luxury hotels in the Middle East region based on their cheapest available rate for a double room.

The month of November served as the basis of comparison and is the month when most Middle Eastern destinations reach their highest average hotel rates.
