Burj Al Arab was completed in 1999 and, although relatively short-lived, has the same reputation as the world's famous landmarks. You can think of Burj Al Arab as France's Eiffel Tower or Britain's Big Ben. In our culture, Izmir's Clock Tower is like the Maiden's Tower of Istanbul. While the exterior of Burj Al Arab expresses an ultra-modern architecture, the interior contains features that combine western and relatively Arab elements.

Although Burj Al Arab is officially classified as a luxury 5-star hotel, it is widely referred to as the most important 7-star hotel in the world. Being one of the most magnificent buildings in the world, the hotel has managed to redefine the meaning of wealth with its height and post-modern architecture. Although Burj Khalifa is now the tallest building in the world, Burj Al Arab continues to be the symbol of the Dubai Emirate with its luxury and magnificent architecture.
