Things to do in Burj Al Arab
Reportedly the most luxurious hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab offers you an opulent experience like no other. Located on its own man-made island across from Jumeirah Beach, it has unapologetically extravagant features, such as five swimming pools, a private beach, a fleet of chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce and a helipad (in case you fancy dropping by in your private jet).
Designed by architect Tom Wright, the hotel dominates the Dubai skyline with its soaring sail-shaped form. The interior is no less striking. Swathes of gold leaf go hand in hand with silk wallpaper and glossy marble features. The sumptuous suites also come with every possible indulgence, from a personal butler, 21-inch iMAC, a five-head shower, Hermes amenities, and access to the Wild Wadi Waterpark™ and Kids Club for the duration of your stay.
For those whose budget doesn’t stretch quite far enough to include a night at the hotel, you can still enjoy the freshest seafood at aquarium-like Al Mahara or Arabian delicacies at Al Iwan.

Reviews Burj Al Arab
“visiting Dubai for the first time, it was stunning!”
“Wir haben uns für die große Tour um 18 Uhr entschieden, das war genau richtig, denn wir konnten die Abendsonne genießen und die Stadt und den Sonnenuntergang sehen. Die Ausfahrt aus dem Hafen dauert sehr lange, hier verlilert man viel Zeit, schöner wäre es, wenn man die Abkürzung nehmen würde.”
