TheBurj al-Arab does not have ordinary rooms; rather it is divided into 202 duplex suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 square metres (1,819 square feet), and the largest one covers 780 square metres (8,396 square feet). It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world to stay in. The prices for the least expensive suites are in the range of $1,000 to over $6,000 a night. The most expensive suites can cost over $15,000 a night.
It was built to
resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two "wings"
spread in a V to form a vast "mast", while the space between them is
enclosed in a massive atrium. The hotel rests on an artificial island
constructed 280 m (920 ft) offshore. To secure a foundation, the builders drove
230 forty-metre (130 ft) long concrete piles into the sand.
This restaurant aquarium is located in a superior hotel in Dubai, U.A.E. The
design employs the concept of Al Mahara, which means "Oyster"
and gives guests the feeling of being taken to the restaurant by a submarine.
The large seawater aquarium holds roughly 35,000 cu ft. of water
and is constructed of 7.1" thick R-Cast
BurjAl Arab is located on an artificial island off the coast of Dubai. The resort
is a one-hour drive from Dubai International Airport by taxi or pre-arranged
transfer in one of the hotel's luxurious Rolls Royces or Mercedes S350's.
Alternatively, arrange for a scenic 20-minute helicopter ride from the airport
to the resort's helipad.
BurjAl Arab rises out of its own man-made island off the Jumeirah coast, south of
the city and 15 miles (25 km) from Dubai International Airport. Visible from
almost everywhere in the city, it is linked to the shore by a gently curving
causeway.
With
its distinctively high, sail-inspired exterior, this resort hotel has a private
beach, an outdoor pool, 2 indoor pools, and a full-service spa. 6 restaurants
and several bars are located on site.
