Hotels in Dubai
Why not rent some rooms in hotel in Dubai.
Dubai is one of the 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is one of the country's main cities, sometimes called Dubai City to distinguish it from the emirate.
The
most fmaous hotel in the country is possibly The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: Tower of
the Arabs), a luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Burj Al Arab
is managed by the Jumeirah Group. It was designed by British architect Tom Wright
of WS Atkins PLC with the design and construction managed by Canadian engineer
Rick Gregory of WS Atkins. At 321 metres, it is the tallest building used exclusively
as a hotel. However, the Rose Tower, also in Dubai, which has already topped Burj
Al Arab's height at 333 m, will take away this title on its opening. The Burj
Al Arab stands on a artificial island 280 metres (919 ft) out from Jumeirah beach,
and is connected to the mainland by a large private curving bridge. It is an iconic
structure, designed to symbolize Dubai's urban transformation and to mimic the
sail of a boat.
Construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994. It was built to
resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two wings spread in a V
to form a vast mast, while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium.
Dubais location at the cross roads of Europe, Asia and Africa makes for easy accessibility. Most capitals and other cities have direct flights to Dubai. More than 120 airlines operate to and from Dubai International Airport to more than 260 destinations, making it one of the worlds busiest. Dubai is also the home base of Emirates Airline, international airline of the UAE, which operates scheduled services to more than 100 destinations. Tourism in Dubai is a important part of the Dubai government's strategy to maintain the flow of foreign dollars into the emirate. Dubai's lure for tourists is based mainly on shopping, but also on its possession of other ancient and modern attractions.
