Our guided inside tour of Burj Al Arab was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped in, everything felt incredibly luxurious—from the iconic atrium to the stunning suites and gold details throughout. The guide was informative and made the history and design even more impressive. It’s a rare chance to see inside one of the world’s most famous hotels, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. ✨

A world so luxurious that it is almost unimaginable. It's a shame that very little of the hotel is open to visitors, as the lobby is an unparalleled experience. The suite made available for visitors is the one that was used until a few years ago... immense and colorful. The sail is splendid and the view from above is equally wonderful.

    Booking a time slot is pointless, as there's always at least an hour's wait... and doing that with two small children is madness... the view is beautiful, but New York can't be beaten.
