The hotel at night



This hotel, Burj Al Arab Hotel meaning Tower of the Arabs, is the only 7 star hotel in the world and plays hosts to 5, 000 tourists a day.

It has a luxury spa, fitness centre, world class shopping malls, golf courses, luxury chartered yacht cruises, helicopter tours...the perfect place for a holiday honeymoon.

I'm already saving towards visiting this hotel for my first holiday from work...anyone interested in visiting Dubai and the hotel as a tourist, please get in touch with me via email...we can go as a group, or meet over there...what's life without a little fun and adventure right?

hi,
almost went there when i was in Dubai last year on official duties...it cost over Dhs300..which is close to if not more than a $100 so pls factor that in....another place of interest in Dubai is the mall of the emirates..it has over 450 shops(Designer shops) it is huge, it also has an indoor ski resort...a ski resort in one of the hottest countries in the world!!!! Dubai is a lovely tourist spot it is a pity nigerians only know if for Gold and baffs...
They even have a water theme park as well as a desert skiing facilities....so if u do go..pls enjoy urself and by all means go to the gold souk!!!!!

I saw the Hotel from afar when i went to Dubai to shop for self and friends. See, the thing is, you start experiencing the sheer beauty of Dubai right from the airport. It's world standard. You'll think you're in an Arabian Nights story and Alaadin will pop out any moment.

Seriously, i was gazing unashamedly..i no send. Unfortunately, i couldn't afford to stay in the hotel. And things are horribly cheap at their duty free airport shops. There's nothing you can't buy there, including lates cars of any model.

The hotels sheer beauty and splendour is breath taking and overwhelming. But, hey, you never can tell. Maybe one day, i'll be staying in that presidential suite. The world's a small place!

i have been to the burj al arab (when i was living in dubai) and it was amazing!!!! yeah it is the only 7star hotel in the world. I went with my dad & i was like oh my dayz!!! I'm not the biggest fan of arabs but yeah they do build big stuff.The hotel is in Jumeriah & the area is amazing.The restaurant is like underwater. As you arer eating, you watch the fishes going by (its built on a man-made island). You should also check out their biggest mall "Mall of the Emirates" on the net. Its amazing. They have an in-door ski (the 1st and only in the world).Nice.....

Why did you delete your lat posting on the blog.
You make him look like a saint by protecting him and make yourself a liar. or are you reconsidering your stance.

av been there and its absolutely amazing. It was a gift from mumsy for passing my exams. TRy going to wild wadi water park, its close by and the desert safari is simply breath-taking. For shopping, mall of emirates and ibn battuta. Take d abra to deira and visit d gold souk. Dubai is amazing, its really a shame ppl just go there to shop(like my mum) and never explore its attractions

Hey Linda am saving to go too hopefully before the end of the year. So yep we can meet up cos if the hotel is N300k (almost $3000)a night i will choose a 5 star one that wouldnt be more then $500. So lets plan this trip................i sure will visit u and come sight seeing.

I have been planning to go to dubai, heard things are reasonable. So we should definitely stay in this hotel, not expensive at all. I mean if we stay 5 nights it is only N1.5m (cough cough).

It is indeed the most expensive hotel but NOT the worlds tallest hotel.

The structure of the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang North Korea, is 9 m (30 ft) taller than the '"Burj Al Arab'"

Kind Regards,
