A nighttime gallery would be cool - people could vote on which colour the Burj looks best in at night!!

You can't really say in hotels what is the cheapest rate one can get... There are shitloads of rates for every segment and such it's unbelievable...

I must say out of all the developments and type of architecture in Dubai - the burj is habibi, really stunning.

There is a TV programme in the UK called 'MegaStructures'.

A couple of weeks ago they showed 'the building a the Burj Al Arab', from the sheikhs vision, to the drawing board, the build and completion.

AND WOW!!

I have always had immense respect for the vision and design of the hotel, but after viewing this programme ..... double WOW..... a totally new found respect.... it made my heart skip a beat!

I stayed there a few years back, really quite ignorant to what an achievment to structure really is. Didn't appreciate it enough at the time, I feel.
Have some wonderful memories though. :lol:
And for anyone fortunate to stay. Appreciate it, as a remarkable experience!

:D

I didn't pay this much! There are ALWAYS deals to be had!

The underwater restaurant had a four year waiting list, maybe 5 years ago.... but I got a reservation.... and I am no one special!

Do the deal and stay, worth every penny, for the experience!!

:wink:

EG, I am suprised by you. :wink:

This place sucks!! I have yet to experience anything above 3/4 star service and I certainly have no desire to eat dinner surrounded by tourists constantly taking photos.

I have just learned that they are opening the worlds second '7 star' hotel in RAK on the developement where we have our weekend home - God I hope it's better than the Burj..............

--------- final call?

I have read that the hotel can be toured for 50 Euros. That is surely no longer true , is it ? Otherwise there would be tourists all over it , disturbing "7 star guests". What is the score these days? Are the public even allowed in?

Wow, it looks so great. The Burj-al-Arab is like drawing me to get there. It's one of the tallest building in the world right? Wow, i've never been there. I think next year i'll visit Dubai and spent few days there. :D
