I was told I could take photos as long as I kept the use of the flash to a minimum

I am awestruck by the hotel! :shock: It is really one of its kind.

I read somewhere on the net that US$1billion was spent on furnishing the Burj al-Arab that it will take 400 years of full occupancy to just BREAK EVEN.

How can anyone afford even the lowest of US$6000 a night?!

I was there last week and the rate card they gave me showed the lowest room to be around $1500 a night and not $6000 .. however it went up to over $10,000 per night ..

Burj Al Arab was built with one purpose to create a buzz for Dubai and a tourist destination. It worked like a charm ! the money invested in building it was well invested, while the hotel itself might not make the return on investment the publicity/marketing/benefits it bought Dubai is very well worth every penny spent on it :)

Last couple of times I was there (on business) they were trying to stop tourists from taking photos. They also ban people from taking photos in restaurants.

I just find the whole thing a bit obscene and over the top.

Notice how you never get picturs of the Burj from the sea looking into land? Because it looks like a giant cross!

I was there for dinner a few months ago and they let us take photos once most of the other diners had left.
