All rooms are double-decker, and the area of the smallest - 170 square. m., and very large - 780 square. m. night in the cheapest room will cost you in 1 500 dollars. This is the first seven-star hotel in the world, and concurrently it is a symbol of Dubai .
Sheikh Mohammed - the ruler of Dubai - realized that the development of tourism it is necessary Emirate recognizable symbol. Same as the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Statue of Liberty in New York .

Arab swam past the windows of the Dow with a sail boat. Tom says: " Eureka !" Here is a simple and recognizable form, which can draw even a child! "
To get in the Burj Al Arab just impossible. It stands on an artificial island, and it connects with the land bridge, at the beginning of the PPC with the guards:
Sail In many restaurants. If you order them in a table, the guard checked the list, and you get into the hotel lobby. By the way, there is always walking a group of tourists with cameras and open mouths.

On each floor, a reception and concierge, to the guests comfortable. You always meet at the lift and hold up numbers. This butler is always joking, asked how was your day, in short, affability. Therefore, to walk along this corridor is not scary. Fencing is very convex and wide. Down just look impossible. To make the next photo, I had to keep the camera on his outstretched hands. Above the lobby seems tiny:
