The Burj-Al-Arab, Jumeirah

The Burj al-Arab is one of Dubai's most iconic landmarks, its sailboat-shaped structure emerging from the ocean. It's one of the most well-designed properties in Dubai & famous for its splendid engineering techniques used for constructing the Hotel.

The Hotel project was launched in 1994 & took 5 years to complete and it was opened in the year 1999. I still remember that it was the most talked-about hotel across all media channels. The Burj al-Arab is over-the-top in every way possible.

The Hotel is made on the island which is man-made located 280m off the shores of Dubai. The entrance of the hotel is via bridge road which is 340 m long.

This Hotel not being only the tallest all-suite Hotel in the World, in 2008 it also broke the Guinness World Record for the most expensive cocktail, valued at 27,321 AED.

We reached the hotel at early lunchtime as soon as we enter the bridge road where this magnificent ship-shaped building catches your attention.

As soon as we entered Burj-Al-Arab, its lobby impressed me right off the bat with enormous gold pillars and dancing fountains.

Our daughter was overwhelmed with the huge aquarium on the side of the walking staircase. The staff was well trained & courteous they showed us the way for our restaurant.

The hotel staff took us to the restaurant since we were early we get to choose our seats, it was an open indoor sitting lounge area with live piano music playing in the background.

Everything was looking complete & spic span well maintained place.

We sat where we can see the outside sea view and it was textbook perfect.

We have been taken care of by a female server who was extremely friendly, as soon as she saw we have a small child she got an activity kit for my daughter. Hospitality is at the top level in this luxury hotel.
