Dubai drips with luxury, and we are no strangers to the fact that this city has everything you can and cannot imagine. It is the city of dreams and caters to travellers of all age groups, from fun theme parks in Dubai for kids to shopping malls and souks for adults.
Now, let’s talk about the iconic landmark of Dubai, the Burj Al Arab, which is said to be the most expensive 7-star hotel in the world, so you can imagine the extent of its lavishness.
Tom Wright of WS Atkins, the architect of this iconic hotel, was given the task of building a ground-breaking structure that reflects the traditions and heritage of Dubai. The construction of the Burj Al Arab started in the year 1993, and it took five years to complete. In December 1999, the place was open to the public.
Khuan Chew, a well-known Chinese interior designer of KCA International, designed the stunning interior of this fabulous hotel. The marbles used in the interiors are the same marbles that Michelangelo used for making his masterpieces.
An estimated 24-carat gold leaf has been embellished in an area of 1790 sqm, and approximately 86500 individual hand-picked Swarovski Crystals have been installed inside the hotel. There are a total of 199 suites in the hotel.
The building has a sail-like structure, soaring over the turquoise shore, standing at a height of 321 meters. The Burj Al Arab is one of the most photographed places in the world because of its unique design and also because of its grandeur.
The Burj Al Arab is one of the tallest hotels in the world, with the world’s tallest atrium, ascending over 180 m, flanked with imposing Golden columns. The hotel also has its very own helipad that has hosted Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and Anthony Joshua.
The terrace of the Burj Al Arab Hotel has a 10,000-square-meter outdoor pool where one can relax and unwind.
