The spectacular Burj Al Arab rises to a height of 321 metres and resembles the graceful sails of an Arabian dhow. This majestic building is a must see place during Dubai travel. It dominates most part of the Dubai coastline. Located on a manmade island, this all suite hotel is situated some 280 meters, offshore. It is connected to the mainland by a gently curving and slender causeway. The building is entirely illuminated during the nights and is worth a visit during your visit to Dubai and is usually a part of the Dubai tours package.
