Description

Saddam Hussein's former palace in Baghdad has been completely renovated, ready to host the Arab League summit in May.

The palace, which has a history as tumultuous as the country's, has been given a $400m makeover.

Many hope the gleaming centrepiece will show that Iraq too, has been restored to its former glory.

Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf reports from the Iraqi capital.
