As we all know, Dubai has been transformed into a real wonder of the World. Our generation has a unique opportunity to witness how an empty desert can be transformed into one of the planets most interesting cities, attracting millions of tourists each year
The Burj Al Arab is claimed to be “the world’s only 7-star hotel”.
Being the fourth-tallest hotel in the world (height of 210 m (689 ft) above ground), The Burj Al Arab is pushed for 280 meters away from the shoreline, so it doesn’t cast a shadow on the beaches nearby

One of the coolest features of The Burj Al Arab is it’s helipad, which can be transformed into a tennis court that hangs off the side of the hotel. Nothing can beat a tennis game at an altitude of 200 meters above the sea level. Literally above the sea level. Breathtaking! The only problem is that getting the lost tennis balls back may take you a while.
The Palms. Another man-made masterpiece. Three islands were built to serve as a ground for luxury hotels and premium real-estate.
The smallest island, the Palm Island Jumeirah, was inaugurated in 2007.
It took 4 years, 6 million kg of rock and 26 million kg of sand to finish the islands.

It took just 1325 days to complete the tower and it required nearly 12000 workers on-site on any given day. More than 30 000 tons of rebar were used for the Burj Khalifa’s construction. If you layed all these steel bars end to end, you’d have the length that equals a quarter of the way around the world.
