King Salman went to Tangier for 1 month and spent over $100 million, on what is allegedly the most expensive holiday ever. Main costs were booking the 1,000 man entourage in luxury hotels and leasing 200 cars.

Impressive palace

The 81-year-old King has several properties around the world, but he always returns to his impressive palace in Tangier, which he had renovated last year. Upgrades included are three new landing platforms for helicopters, several new buildings and super luxury party tent. This comes on top of the original features like its own medical facilities, a wall of 1,500 meters surrounding the property and star quality restaurant style kitchens.

Financial heavy weight

On 24 July The king was welcomed at the airport by Moroccan Prime Minister Saadeddine Othmani. No surprise: Salman alone accounts for about 1.5 percent of the total amount tourists will spend in Morocco this year, according to the Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
