Embark on an exclusive 90-minute tour guided by an Expert Butler and step into the extraordinary world of luxury at Burj Al Arab, the epitome of opulence in Dubai. Explore the unrivaled design elements and witness a world of wonder within the "Home of Luxury".

Burj Al Arab, located in Dubai, UAE, stands as an architectural marvel, positioned 280 meters offshore on its own man-made island connected to the mainland by a bridge. Formerly the tallest hotel globally at 321 meters, it held this title until the Rose Tower surpassed its height in April 2008. Presently, it ranks as the 5th tallest hotel globally, with 39% of its height remaining unoccupied.

As of 2015, Burj Al Arab stands as the 56th tallest building in Asia and the 70th tallest in the world.

The hotel's construction commenced in 1994, and it was unveiled to the public on 1 December 1999. Its design, resembling a dhow sail, a traditional Arabian ship, has earned it the affectionate nickname "The Sail". Notably, at a height of 210 meters, the hotel features a helipad, and on the opposite side, the El Muntaha Restaurant (Arabic for 'The Highest'), both impressively supported by cantilevered beams.
