Dubai's Al Burj, also known as the "Tower of the Arabs," is one of the most striking and awe-inspiring architectural landmarks in the world. Standing at a height of 828 meters (2,717 feet), it is the tallest building on the planet.

This towering structure is a marvel of engineering and design, featuring a stunning combination of cutting-edge technology, luxurious amenities, and a breathtakingly beautiful architectural style. Its observation decks provide visitors with panoramic views of the city and the surrounding desert, and it's a hub for a wide range of activities, from fine dining in high-end restaurants to luxurious shopping experiences. Whether you're admiring its stunning design from a distance or taking in the unparalleled views from its observation decks, Al Burj is a testament to Dubai's grandeur and a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the pinnacle of modern architecture and luxury.

Often labelled a seven-star hotel, Burj Al Arab is exuberant and exceptional in many ways. The sail-shaped structure is built on a man-made island and is the tallest all-suite hotel. Among other glittering features, it has 24-carat gold-gilded interiors, a helipad that hosts unique events, the largest Swarovski crystal ceiling in the world and the first-ever man-made luxury beach facility.

Burj Al Arab is best viewed from the coastline areas surrounding it, like from Sunset Beach or venues like Madinat Jumeirah from where the sail-shaped hotel makes for an iconic backdrop to many al fresco meals and abra rides.
