Burj Al Arab spells luxury par excellence
Eiffel Tower in Paris, Opera House in Sydney, Big Ben in London, and Taj Mahal in Agra are only a few of the many man-made wonders that are famous around the world. These stunning structures stand tall and proud as important icons of their respective cities and countries.
In Dubai, that iconic landmark is the Burj Al Arab. Easily recognizable by its distinctive billowing sail design, it pays homage to the seafaring roots of the Emiratis and is the veritable symbol of Dubai. Resplendent either from the golden sand beaches of Jumeirah or from the sea while on a romantic sunset cruise Dubai, Burj Al Arab or “Tower of the Arabs” is considered the most luxurious hotel in the world.
