Dubai

Burj Al Arab



The Burj Al Arab is a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. 321 metres (1,053 ft), it is the tallest building used exclusively as a hotel. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the sail of a boat. For more information refer to this web: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_al_arab


I like this place is bcos of this pic on top, saw this in a book. This really catch my attention. They design it in this way is so nice lorz...


What so Special: This hotel is like on a deserted island., when u view it in some angles. There is a place at the top of the hotel, like a Helicopter landing pad that is a Tennis Court, cant believe it. The helipad has no borders or fences on the edges and if a player hit a winner the tennis balls would plunge down to the ground.
The hotel houses a mere 202 rooms, but each floor of the hotel is double layered. The deluxe hotel rooms range in size from approximately 1,800 square feet up to approximately 8,000 square feet. A room in the Burj Al Arab costs a minimum of $1,000 per evening and can increase in price up to $25,000 per night.
