    Burj Al Arab is not only an iconic landmark in Dubai, it is also as noticeable and far more popular than the Opera House or Eiffel Tower. It is luxury personified…there is no argument about its luxury value or its features and fame. It is all absolutely true. Let there be no doubts in your mind about it.

    yes i agree with Anjaly. i been to this place few years ago in and out of this Fabulous hotel, coz of sister and her husband band. They always play there with their band. Going to the building crossing the bridge was amazing and mesmerising! the different colours of beaming lights are spectacular. i can’t imagine how they managed to build the building starting from the parking basement under the water. Getting inside the main lobby is crazy the walls r in gold plated. I can’t describe the feeling when i stepped into the lift going up seeing the ground amazingly crazy. feeling lucky on that first time.
