The Burj Al-Arab

As Dubai is increasingly developing, the city has grown to become a popular tourist destination, famous for its magnificent landmarks, as well as the famed Dubai hospitality factor.

Sprawling with shopping centers, Dubai has been labeled as the “City of Gold” as gold items are impossible not to see for sale. The sights and sounds of Dubai leave sightseers mystified with their innate wonders, as they are engineering marvels of their own class. All these, and more, coupled with the famed Dubai hospitality, truly make Dubai a golden city of wonders for tourists, making it an ideal tourist destination for friends and family, and with this, it is home to a number of hotels, the most famous of which: the Burj Al-Arab Hotel.

The Burj Al-Arab stands, not only as a pinnacle for modern engineering, but as an avenue for the known Dubai hospitality factor to shine. With staff knowing that the hotel guests’ wishes are paramount above anything else, the Burj Al-Arab is the most luxurious and most expensive hotel in all of Dubai, pricing, as its lowest rate, one thousand dollars for an overnight stay.

Each suite has a dedicated 24 hour butler, who exist to serve guests’ needs. The suites have their own respective dining, office, and reception areas, and office facilities like fax machines, scanners and printers are available for hotel guests.

For AED 120, which is about thirty five US Dollars, one could visit the hotel, and get an up close and personal look at the marvels that lay within it. 22 karat gold pillars and domes could be found within the hotel’s interior, as the main display area, known as the Volcano, is the location of a magnificent fountain. One would get a feel of Dubai hospitality, even if one isn’t exactly a guest staying in one of the hotel’s two hundred and two suites.

Built on a man made island, the 321 meter structure has become Dubai’s Statue of Liberty, making it Dubai’s symbol of pride. It houses a helicopter landing pad on its 28th floor, and is surrounded by the Wild Wadi water park and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, which each have their own respective world class facilities geared for fun under the sun.

In Arabic, Burj al Arab translates to “Tower of Arabs”. The hotel’s logo can be seen on Dubai vehicles’ plate numbers, as the hotel has somewhat become the “spokesperson” landmark for Dubai.
All this, with the famed Dubai hospitality, make the Burj Al Arab the only seven star hotel in the world, truly making it a wonder Dubai is justly proud of.
