Next Featured developments (three columns, two rows, six cards in total, with the image in the lower half of the card, project name overlaid on the image, and a line of location small text below the card), International properties (one row of three, likewise with Editor's picks / New to market tags, with a View international luxury homes button below the section).\n\nFurther down is the light-background Curated collection of luxury rentals two-column text-left image-right block (left text right image, with a few underlined place-name links in the left body and a View luxury rentals button below), then Our partners (a centered paragraph plus a row of six white square logo cards, with a See more button below), From The Journal (three columns two rows, six article cards, each with a title, an excerpt, a small line DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE · 1 MIN.

On the left switch it to an area dropdown, defaulting to \"All areas\", with six options in total: All areas, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown, Business Bay; in the middle put two plus/minus counters, one for \"nights\" default 3, minimum 1 night maximum 14 nights, and one for \"guests\" default 2, minimum 1 maximum 8, and once at the limit don't let people click past it; on the far right the number on the black button must become the real result count, updating live with the filters, showing 42 results on entering the page. Note guests filter people — a property that can't fit that many people should not be counted; nights only affect the money calculated later, not the result count. Keep the row of Buy / Rent / Stay / Off-plan for now, but the default must land on Stay, and clicking the other three must not cause trouble (neither the result count nor the selected filter conditions may change).\n\nLet me paste the inventory, exported by ops, 42 units in total, numbered L01 through L42 (two digits, zero-padded). Areas are split by number ranges: L01–L12 in Palm Jumeirah, L13–L21 in Jumeirah, L22–L29 in Dubai Marina, L30–L36 in Downtown, and the remaining L37–L42 all in Business Bay. Don't invent names one by one — just join \"area + number\", e.g. Palm Jumeirah L01, Jumeirah L13, Dubai Marina L22, Downtown L30, Business Bay L37, so it's easy for them to reconcile. They couldn't be bothered to fill in prices one by one and only gave the rule: L01 is 1,550 dirhams per night, and every subsequent number adds 350, continuing all the way. Property types also cycle: number divided by 4 leaves remainder 1 → 1 bedroom, remainder 2 → 2 bedrooms, remainder 3 → 3 bedrooms, divisible → 4 bedrooms; capacity is bedrooms doubled (1 bedroom sleeps 2, 4 bedrooms sleeps 8, and so on).

Next to the new section's heading, write out how many units there currently are — the live count of the current filter, not a hardcoded total, and it must update after filtering. The list holds 9 cards per page with pagination below, and it must show which page you're on and the total number of pages. Cards must have: property name, area, nightly price (written like AED 1,550 / night, with thousands separators), property type and maximum guests, plus rating. Add a sort dropdown with four options: Recommended (i.e. number ascending), Price low to high, Price high to low, Rating high to low, defaulting to Recommended. Sorting must stack with the area and guest filters in the toolbar above — don't let them each do their own thing. One more detail: whenever the area or guests change, the page number must return to page 1 by itself, and the total page count must follow — don't leave people parked on a page that no longer exists staring at blank space.

The panel must make the bill clear, listed line by line: the room charge is nightly price × nights; staying 7 nights or more (7 included) takes 15% off the room charge, with the discounted odd cents simply dropped leaving whole numbers; for guests beyond 4, each extra person adds 120 per night; finally a fixed 450 cleaning fee. The extra-guest fee and cleaning fee don't participate in the discount. Give the total at the bottom.\n\nClicking \"Confirm booking\" puts the panel into a success state, keeping this booking's total and a success line at the top, while the itinerary badge at the top of the page increments by 1.
