Old Bastakiya District In Dubai UAE

December 24th 2008 04:48 The old Bastakiya district, in Dubai, UAE, is a step back in time to the days before electricity and air-conditioning, where traditional courtyard houses were cooled by wind towers. It gives a glimpse of the way Dubai used to be.

Old Dubai was famous for its wind towers that lined the Creek on both sides, and today the narrow lanes festooned with the distinctively Arabian architecture is a popular historical attraction that has been marked for tourists to delight in.

BURJ AL ARAB

August 23rd 2007 19:50
The World's Tallest 7 Star Hotel.

Guess where it is ..?? Again in Dubai, the City of Wonders..!!

The Burj Al Arab is one of the rarest of jewels that can be found in the world. One of the most luxurious hotels in the world, it has earned the name of being the first 7 star hotel; and so far the tallest Hotel in the world.

The name Burj Al Arab in Arabic, meaning "Tower of the Arabs"; has become an iconic symbol of Dubai. The hotel resembles a dhow (Arabian sea vessel) with a billowed out sail. Construction of this massive hotel, began in 1994 and was opened to the public in 1999; after 5 years. These five years saw the taking shape of the first of its kind, hotel built out into the Arabian sea, which was to become the symbol that the Emirate of Dubai, would be eventually identified with.

Burj Al Arab - Tower of the Arabs, Dubai. UAE.

More of this wonder to be contd...

Burj Dubai (Interior)

August 20th 2007 18:17
Inside Burj Dubai

The interiors of the Burj Dubai would be lavishly designed by Giorgio Armani. The entire 200 plus floors interiors by Armani would make it one of the most posh and luxurious towers on earth. Another jewel within this tower would be the first of its kind "Armani Hotel."

Corporate offices, private apartments and hotel suites is what the Burj Dubai be entirely made off. To reach the 200 floors, the tower needs super fast elevators. And thus the world's fastest elevator, 56 of them; would be ferrying people up and down this historic tower.
