Burj Al Arab Tourism

The Burj Al Arab, a luxurious hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is renowned for its sail-shaped silhouette against the Dubai skyline. As one of the most photographed structures in the world and often described as 'the world's only seven-star hotel', it stands on an artificial island accessible by a private curving bridge. The hotel, standing at 321 meters high, was designed by architect Tom Wright of WS Atkins and opened its doors in 1999. The Burj Al Arab's opulent interior includes an atrium with a fountain, lavish rooms with state-of-the-art facilities, a helipad near the roof at a height of 210 meters above ground, and world-class dining venues, including the underwater-themed Al Mahara restaurant. This iconic structure is constructed with a Teflon-coated fiberglass white fabric that creates the sail effect and reflects the sun's heat. It has become a symbol of Dubai's luxury and modernity and represents the sophistication and extravagance of the city's hospitality industry.
