The world’s only 7-star hotel is definitely the most luxurious, combining traditional elements with the latest technology available. Burj al arab was constructed in 1999, on an artificial island, 280 meters off shore, offering a great view of the sea and the city of Dubai.

Burj al arab is literally luxury taken to the extreme, over 8,000 square meters of the hotel’s interior is covered in 22-carat gold leaf, while 24,000 square meters are covered with 30 different types of marble.

This jewel of the Arab World has a height of 321 meters and 56 stories. Burj al Arab also has the tallest atrium in the world, which is 180 meters high.
