On arrival the Burj Al Arab dominates the roadside — a white sail rising from its man-made island, glass and gold catching the low sun as an electric buggy hums visitors across the causeway. The guided 90-minute interior tour moves from the lobby’s opulent atrium to curated public suites, a hospitality desk, and a viewing point where the hotel’s story is told in measured, architectural detail.
