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.

Burj Dubai (Interior)

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.

Burj Dubai (contd..)

August 17th 2007 18:39

Readers.. sorry for the delay..

Continuing my posts on the World's Tallest Tower...

The Burj Dubai's completion is expected to occur somewhere in late 2008, though the exact details are shrouded in secrecy. When fully completed it will earn the name of being the "tallest man made structure"..as well as the "tallest free standing structure on earth"

Projected Height of Burj Dubai

The construction of this tower takes place throught the whole day in shifts, at an astonishing pace..with engineers working hard to meet the given deadline. The entire Burj Dubai project is worth a whopping $4 billion US dollars.

Highlights of the Tower

Exterior

The exterior of the tower has alot of influence from Islamic Architecture. When completed, the whole tower from the outside would take the shape of a pointed structure rising high, with peelings narrowing the size of the structure till it reaches a pointed spire.
