When you're watching tv pay more attention to Discovery, TLC, Travel Channel and you'll be surprised at what you'll see. I've wanted to visit that hotel for years now, although I'll be dreaming for another 10 years at least.

The beautiful Jumeira beach is just a stone's throw away. My dad has stayed at the Burj Al-Arab hotel a few times. He said some rooms are beautiful but some are very tacky and OTT. I couldnt care, id like to stay there one day.

Isn't that the same hotel that there's a picture of Tiger Woods driving a golf ball from the round area at the top?

Hate to be in the town when those golf balls came whizzing down....

Yep, that's the one alright. Scary look down I bet. Be fun to base jump off of there, or take a hang glider off....

Re: 7 Star hotel.... WOW

I'm afraid I would end up "base jumping" with nothing but that tennis racket.

I don't know if it's been said, but there is also an entry fee as well, you can't get in unless you pay something like a hundred bucks.

Re: 7 Star hotel.... WOW

I saw the show on Discovery about it and they said without the proper balance of the air conditioner, they can have thunder storms in it at the top. The "sail" portion of the building is open inside from the ground floor to the top floor.

I think this building is awesome !!!
