Burj Al Arab
Burj Al Arab is a hotel built on an artificial island. Designed by lead architect Tom Wright. It officially opened in December 1999. In the list of most must-see architectural wonders of the modern world, this is another style combining glass, plastic, metal, decentralized lighting, new technologies, lifts, and stairs with various designs. This style was widely used by the British in the 1970s and 1980s. Burj Al Arab is the first 7-star hotel in the world. The hotel was built on an artificial island 280 meters from the coast. The 321-meter-high hotel is in sail form. Choosing the Al-Arab Hotel, people accept the legendary interior and luxurious rooms.
The iconic Burj Al Arab is a striking 28-story symbol of new-world bling. One of the tallest hotels in the world, the gleaming building is built on an artificial island, 280m from the mainland, and is shaped like a huge billowing sail. The Burj Al Arab stands as a symbol of Dubai’s modern outlook, with opulence in abundance when you enter this gorgeous hotel. Made to represent a sloop with full sail, it accomplishes the illusion of motion along with the standard towering nature of an ordinary skyscraper. It’s the vision of Tom Wright in a lovely collaboration between east and west.
