Burj Al Arab


The Burj Al Arab (Tower of Arabs) building in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a luxury hotel. It is the tallest building used only as a hotel. The Burj Al Arab is located on a man made island off of Jumeirah beach. The overall shape of the building is supposed to resemble the sail of a ship. On the roof of the building is a helicopter pad that doubles as a circular tennis court. The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night.
