PAMELA ANDERSON is building her own eco-friendly hotel in the Arab city of Abu Dhabi.

The former Baywatch babe fell for the capital of the United Arab Emirates during a recent trip there with the Make a Wish Foundation charity.

And sources say she decided to join a host of other celebrity hoteliers and build her own property in the region.

She reveals, "I'm building a hotel there. It's environmentally friendly. I went there with the Make a Wish Foundation and met some great people there, and the royal family was really friendly."

And the environmentally-conscious star insists the hotel is kind to the earth: "It's built with no fossil fuel at all, in Abu Dhabi - where they have all that oil."
