The construction of this truly amazing hotel took five years, from 1994 to 1999, which is a long time under the current arrangements. Let's see what's so unique about it.

The government of Dubai Sheikh Mohamed somehow decided that his emirate needed a symbol with which he would be associated, since Paris was associated with the Eiffel Tower and New York with the Liberty Statue. Sheikh instructed the English architect to Tom Wright to come up with a concept for a future hotel that would be simple and memorable. At first, Wright was puzzled, he couldn't think of anything that would fit into that profile until he came to the bar to cool his beer again. At a time when the architect sat near the window and squeezed the beverage, the Arab boat Doe sailed. Tom Wright didn't believe what came to his head first, but the more he thought, the more he convinced that the sail form was the perfect solution for a project designed to be a symbol of Dubai. In the end, Wright jumped and resurfaced, "Eurica! This is a simple and recognized form that even a child can draw!”

An artificial island connected to a land-based bridge was established to build a hotel 280 metres from the shore.

Burj al-Arab at a height of 321 metres, he was the world ' s highest hotel from 1 December when opened for the first visitors, until April 2008, when the Bashny Rose Hotel opened close by the opening of 333 meters.

There are no regular hotel rooms, all 202 rooms are hatches. It is also worth noting that all the numbers in Burj Al-Arab are two-storey, the smallest area is 170 m2, and the largest number is 780 m2. By the way, to sleep in the cheapest room, we're gonna have to settle for $1,500. The royal suite is about 28,000.

Several hotel interior photographs

By entering Burj al-Arab, you're in the world's highest hotel lobby, 180 meters! The hotel itself has a triangular form, and the white side, which is usually visible from the outside, really looks like a long sail. In front of us, a stairwell fountain with two escalators on the side, which occasionally begins to blend in short water poles

The first floor of the hall is registered. The process is very simple: you give your passport to the hotel employee, and you sit on the couch yourself, eat the finishers and drink coffee=

With the escalator, we're heading up to the second floor of the hall where stores and cafes are located, playing one fountain, and the corridor leading to the fast elevators. By the way, two large aquarities were hidden in the wall next to the escalators.
