Introduction

The Burj Al Arab is a sail-shaped luxury hotel on an artificial island off Dubai's Jumeirah coast, whose 321 m double-membrane 'sail' silhouette has symbolised Dubai since 1999. Suite-only and famed for its gold interior, underwater restaurant and helipad, it long billed itself as 'seven-star.' Set alone at sea and linked by a private causeway, it changes colour at night and reflects on the Arabian Gulf — a totem of photography and luxe travel. Non-guests can book its restaurants and lounges to glimpse the gilded interior, or view the 'sail' from the public beach and nearby Jumeirah Mosque.
