Burj Al Arab… For many years this hotel have been attracting my attention! It is the only one hotel, possessing a 7-star status (but on the official web-site he is still viewed as a 5-star hotel)! It was built by Said Khalili and Tom Wright is his founding-father, I mean an architect. Nowadays, it is the tallest hotel in the world (321 metres high) and there is an artificial island under it. Burj Al Arab is situated in Dubai and from arabic its title can be translated as “Tower of the Arabs”, it symbolizes Dubai’s cities development and it has a strong resemblance to a billow-sail. In the course of time it justified its destination – to be a Dubai’s visiting card, the same as the Eiffel Tower in Paris. $1,5 was spent on its erecting. Luxury and luxurious are almost synonyms to this hotel. Inspite of its look, this hotels consists only of 28 floors and has 202 rooms. According to the statistic data it is the most expensive hotel that can be found! You will pay not less than $1,000 per one night! Each day, each year millions of people visit this hotel without paying attention to money. They stay at fashionable restaraunts: Al Muntaha and Al Mahara and enjoy picturesque landscapes of Dubai. By the way, in the best hotel there must be the best restaraunt and Al Mahara is not an exception. This hotel ia a masterpiece, a creature of a genious and as any outstanding person, place, building etc. it has a lot of critics. Most of them consider it to be a glorious victory of dreams and wastefullness over a common sense! Money works wonders! And, as to my mind, it is a decent “face” of rich and prosperous country! The wealthy have their own rules! Let’s follow them and enjoy the view of this unusual and gorgeous hotel!
