The Burj Al Arab ranked behind Dubai's Rose Rayhaan and Dubai's Marriot as the third tallest hotel in the world. This hotel spans roughly 280 metres in height and is constructed on a man-made island and is connected to the mainland by a bridge which practically screams exclusivity. This structure cannot be missed as it was built to have the shape of a relaxed sail of an Arabian sailboat, known as a 'dhow'. Those familiar with the handiwork of the famous architect, Tom Wright, will definitely want to visit the Burj Al Arab and see it in all its glory.
