London, Apr 5 : It might sound a bit eccentric, but Iraq is offering Saddam Hussein's palatial boudoir to newlyweds to make their first night extra special.
The ex-dictator's bedroom is on offer for 150-pound a night. At the moment Hussein's presidential palace, which includes Roman columns, chandeliers and gargantuan bathrooms, is undergoing renovation in the town of Hillah, some 60 miles south of Baghdad.
"We hope that many people will visit," The Times quoted a tourism official, as saying.
