Hussein Palaces

Dear YaPovtsy! As promised, today we will take a small tour of the palace of former Iraqi ruler Saddam Hussein. Officially, residences Hussein was 28. In some he had been only a few times. Some of them have chosen his sons. Interestingly, during the reign of Hussein, every night in every palace was covered with "modest" table for 30 persons. No one knew where the governor wants to have dinner. Well it is, zatravochka.

So 20 ph.

1 I'll start with a country palace complex of Al-Faw. Named after the eponymous peninsula, which was taken by the Iraqis during the Iran-Iraq war. The residence was used as a "hunting lodge" (well, fucking himself).





2nd in the Palace 62 rooms and 29 bathrooms. Remarkably, the air-conditioning system in the palace is not compulsory. The main building is constructed so that it is maintained year-round constant temperature.



3rd During the war, the Americans have chosen cunning palace headquarters of himself and his raskhuyarili. So, a bomb on the bridge once ebnuli. And the rest is even nothing. Inside view.



4th marble everywhere.



5th on the walls of quotes from Hussein. To he passed, he recalled that at the 5th Congress said.



6th Workplace dictator.



7th The Palace at night. Sometimes.



8th But this big dick with a clay pigeon holes in it. Pigeons disappeared somewhere and now here live bats.



9th in the artificial lake of fish still in bulk. By the way there is also a specially bred gigantky striped bass Saddam, the so-called Saddam's Bass. It decided to feed them. Brazen stsuko!



10th Next complex. But this palace Americans are not spared.



11th Ebnuli for long-term construction with all the hatred of the capitalist.



12 But I have to look for any cho. Especially children playground, designed by some bump against the Frenchman, and based on the 1000 and 1 night. I never caught up with the idea of ​​... Hula, East - a delicate matter.



13th On the lake pleasure boat went (just his way, and imbedded). And he went ashore in this building.



14th Each complex has a mosque. This - this was.



15 And now I have a four-Hussein palace in Babylon. Determined to outdo Nebuchadnezzar, Saddam built a little house on the ruins of Babylon, a ziggurat.



16th Private balcony Saddam with his initials.



17th Everywhere painted ceilings.



18th and successfully podobranny tiles.



19th Local authorities earnestly want to turn the palace into a casino. Oh well.



20th And the spring of 2009 to very advanced (and bump against, IMHO) offers tourist service wedding night in a room of the palace, which is touted as one of the bedrooms of Saddam Hussein (in fact it is a living room). Should this service to 200 herbs. Honestly, I would not dare. Although for the sake of its kind in the Euphrates and the ruins ...
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you.
