Facts
A 24 meter (79 feet) wide helipad projects from the building 210 meters above the ground. |
Burj Al Arab is the world's tallest structure with a membrane facade. |
This is the tallest operating hotel building in the world (not counting mixed-use buildings like Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai or the unfinished  Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea). |
"Burj" is Arabic for "Tower". |
The building's external lighting schemes, from white light to a multicolored one, change from one to another every 30 minutes expressing the evening's progress. |
The building's design is influenced by the profile of an Arabian sailing ship. |
The Al Muntaha restaurant is located 200 metres above the Persian Gulf, offering great views of Dubai. It is accessed by a panoramic elevator. |
The atrium is 180 metres high, one of the tallest in the world. |
The hotel features a total of eight restaurants and bars. |
All of the hotel's 202 rooms are two-storey suites, ranging in size from 170 square metres (1,830 square feet) to 780 square metres (8,396 square feet). |
