You step over the low security barrier and the city’s edge pulls away—the Burj Al Arab’s curved silhouette rises like a sail against the Arabian Gulf. Inside, a cavernous atrium opens above you, a vertical room of gold leaf, frescoes and palm-lined balconies; the sound of staff and distant surf threads through the air.

Completed in 1999 on a man-made island, the Burj Al Arab was designed to convey Dubai’s modern luxury and engineered to sit on reclaimed coastal sands.
Conservation
The hotel and surrounding resorts operate in a delicate coastal environment; visitors should minimize litter and respect restricted beach areas to protect marine life.
