Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is celebrating his side’s progress into the Champions League semifinals by heading to Israel on Sunday for the Passover holiday.
Abramovich, who is Jewish and a big supporter of the Jewish state, has reportedly spent $450,000 booking all 111 rooms in the Beresheet Hotel in the Israeli desert resort of Mitzpe Ramon for the holiday.
The Daily Mail says:
Mr. Abramovich will reportedly fly to Ben Gurion airport near Tel Aviv in his private jet on Sunday with his partner Darya Zhukova and their children Aaron and Leah, and travel by limousine to the hotel.
It is believed he will host family and friends at the hotel between Sunday and Thursday – at an estimated cost of $450,000 – and that the highlight of the vacation will be a Passover banquet in a tent specially constructed in the desert.
Mr. Abramovich is going one better than the last time he spent Passover in Israel, in 2009, when he only rented an entire floor of 36 rooms in the Royal Beach Hotel in the Red Sea resort of Eilat.
Mr. Abramovich is a frequent visitor to Israel. In the past year alone he has been to the country five times, including visits to technology incubators in Tel Aviv with a view to investing in high-tech startups and attending a fundraising event for an organization that carries out archeological excavations, which he supports financially.
