General Information:

Arabian traditions of a warm welcome and the finest hospitality are mainstays at Burj Al Arab. The property service is outstanding and exceeds expectations. The expanse of Burj Al Arab is evident from afar, and as guests approach across the causeway they are greeted at a warm, but still dramatic structure. Guests are met immediately in the world's largest Atrium Lobby by Guest Services who escort the guest to their suite and then conduct the check-in. It is easy to exhaust superlatives when describing Burj Al Arab, a hotel that has already become an international landmark. Burj Al Arab's sail-shaped structure, soaring 321 metres above the Arabian Gulf, has become as much a point of reference in Dubai as the Eiffel Tower is in Paris.

The Burj Al Arab is part of the Jumeirah Beach Resort complex, situated 15 km south of the city of Dubai. Soaring 321 metres, the Burj Al Arab towers above the renowned Jumeirah Beach Hotel and Wild Wadi Water Park. This unique sail-shaped building stands proudly on a man-made island some 280 metres offshore, linked ti the mainland by a slender, gently curving causeway.

The Guests at Burj Al Arab can also avail themselves of all the wonderful facilities at the adjoining Jumeirah International properties, which include the Wild Wadi Water Park, the Conference and Banqueting centre across the causeway, plus the Marina, Tennis Courts, beach and pools on the Arabian Sea side of the adjacent Jumeirah Beach Hotel. Any of the guest staff can direct you toward the frequent shuttle to take you there.
