Burj al Arab is also called the symbol of Arab. When it was constructed in 2007 it was the only hotel in the world which was rated 7 star. One of the important feature of this building is that many of its rooms have solid gold inside.

Dubai World is really a masterpiece. When seen from the above it looks like a world map. It has many manmade islands.

The Palm Islands Dubai is a project which is similar to Dubai World. The islands on Palm Islands are in the shape of palm leave. The stem of the palm leave connects the island to the main land. There are many villas and residential accommodations which provide the enjoyment of living near water.

The main attraction is the electric water taxi which takes the visitors from the main land to the entrance of the hotel which is on an island. The visitors can view the wonderful scenes of the marine life from the windows of this hotel.
