There was an interesting article in Timesharing Today by California timeshare industry veteran Byron Wiegand a few issues back entitled ‘’Points Revisited'’ that makes interesting reading. He revealed that the process of existing RCI resorts in California changing to RCI Points had ground to a halt with the overwhelming majority remaining weeks-based. He also said that many of the points conversion brokers in California who worked to switch individual owners at Points resorts were getting out of business because they had already reached all of those susceptible to changing.

As timeshare people. I’m sure our sympathies go with out saying here! Accidents do happen. People slip and fall all the time. But we don’t often die from these actions. I don’t know what happened and believe that is for the family involved…. But I have to offer my utmost respect and condolence to the family. A tragic time to die so young and leaving o many behind who loved him and may not have taken their chance to say ‘’I love you'’. The unexpected loss will have upset many and I trust we can all offer some kind words to his wife, daughter, son in law and any other children, family and friends.
‘You know he is just in the other room…’
God bless them all.

Dubailand, the massive entertainment and leisure initiative, is to create the world s most developed destination for horse lovers. Yesterday, Dubailand announced it had signed a dhs 1.6 billion agreement with Al Kaheel Park to design, develop and construct what it says will become the most comprehensive equine tourist attraction ever built. The project will be headed up and managed by Machhour Moukaddem, managing partner of Al Kaheel, who told 7DAYS why it had decided to build an attraction based around horses.

In Dubai and across the GCC, a lot of people are very fond of horses and things related to them, so they attract a lot of people, but we currently don t have a big venue here that will accommodate a lot of activity and allow spectacular shows and themed aspects of all things to do with horses, he said. The development will be called Al Kaheel, which is Arabic for black stallion, and will be located in the Eco Zone area of Dubailand, extending over almost ten million square feet of preserved desert landscape. The entire dhs 1.6 billion project is being funded by a small group of investors who own the privately held Al Kaheel Park company, which includes Sheikh Juma Al Maktoum, chairman of Al Kaheel Park and managing partner, Moukaddem.

The project promises to be like no other horse centre in the world, making it the ultimate equine experience. Included will be a 150 room hotel and 100 units of timeshare property and seven restaurants around the development and a top class spa centre. A key element of the equestrian development will be a theme park designed by Jack Rouse Associates, which is also developing Dinosaur World in City of Arabia, and has worked on other projects for Disneyland and Universal.

Although it is being built as a horse-themed resort, Al Kaheel will also be an educational theme park and working horse farm dedicated to man s relationship with the horse, the firm said. Strategically located in the heart of the desert in Dubai, the homeland for the Arabian horse, the company said the park will be the place to get up close and personal with horses. Every evening, the jewel of the Al Kaheel, the colourful and exciting equine extravaganza, Fly Without Wings show will be held. This nightly show will be a spectacular production of light, sound and action, featuring world class equine acts with over 45 performers and over 70 horses.

Moukaddem is confident that the shows will be able to attract consistently large numbers to the nightly events. We are targeting just three per cent of UAE tourists coming to our venue, and last year Dubai had eight million tourists, which means to us around 650 tourists a day, he said. I believe we will attract more, because three per cent is a very low number. And the level of this kind of show will mean there is nothing else like it in Dubai. The shows will be like a high class Broadway show.

Despite being able to lure incidental Dubai tourists, Moukaddem said Al Kaheel itself aimed to become a destination for horse-loving tourists. We are building this park not purely for the tourists of Dubai, we are creating this as a destination in its own right, so that people will come from Europe for a long weekend or or seven day break. In addition to the nightly spectacular shows, the park will boast the world s first state of the art interactive and multimedia museum. Daily attractions such as virtual reality rides, stunt shows, horse presentations, even hay rides, desert trekking and horse drawn carriage tours will be on offer to all visitors.

The project is being built in the heart of the Eco-Zone area of the development, which Moukaddem said was a major factor in locating the centre. We care very much about the environmental aspects of this project. In the town-house area there will be no cars, and the entire place will have the feel of a Spanish hill town, said Moukaddem. Horse lovers will almost certainly be lining up for a place on the new development, as it will also offer the rare opportunity in Dubai, to own a home in an open and natural surrounding. In total Al Kaheel says it will create 400 unique and individually designed homes, each set in its unspoiled and natural terrain.

We will have a 120 horse barn to take care of residents horses in the community, Moukaddem said. There will be training, boarding and breeding barns for local horse owners and residents, with climate controlled indoor arenas, shows and schooling areas. In addition to the Spa the internationally accredited school of horsemanship will provide clients with equine support and residence. Construction work is due to start next month,, with the theme park due to be completed by December 2007 and the entire project should be finished by December 2008.
