Shaped like the sail of a ship stands it is stand on an artificial island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Marketed like a “the world’s only 7-Star hotel”, of Burj Al Arab is more than just a stunning hotel, it become a symbol of modern Dubai.
Not only Burj Al Arab design is stunning, the services are also impressive. Burj Al Arab suite-only accommodation offers discreet check-in within rooms, a private reception on every floor and a host of personal butlers, each a warm messenger of their unparalleled hospitality.
