Burj Al Arab

The Burj Al Arab is Dubai's most iconic building, a sail-shaped luxury hotel rising 321 meters from an artificial island off Jumeirah Beach. Built in 1999 as a symbol of Dubai's ambition, it is consistently rated one of the world's most luxurious hotels, with a fleet of Rolls-Royces, gold-leaf-decorated interiors, and suites beginning at several thousand dollars per night. Non-guests can visit its restaurants and bars with advance reservation, offering access to the extraordinary atrium interior.
