Dubai is the city of wonders and one such is the sail-shaped Burj Al-Arab Jumeirah. The iconic structure is famous the world over as one of the most opulent hotels you can stay at. Burj Al-Arab also holds the distinction of being amongst the few 7-star hotels in the world.

Located on a manmade island that is linked to the mainland by a private bridge, the unique sail-shaped silhouette is more than just a hotel. Burj Al-Arab is a testament to Dubai's ingenuity and forward thinking.

Not many know that Burj Al-Arab possesses the world’s largest fleet of Rolls Royce. Somehow, a regular sedan doesn't quite cut it when you need to be ferried to this modern-day palace.

Besides this, exquisite dining options, 24x7x365 butler service, 24 karat gold iPads, and a rooftop helipad round out the exercise in glamour that is Burj Al-Arab. Staying at this luxury hotel or spending an evening here is a very pricey affair, but is worth every dirham as the experience is unmatched.

The Burj Al-Arab experience starts off strong with a choice of either a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce Phantom or a private helicopter ride.
