Burj al-Arab

Burj al-Arab (Arabic: "Arabian Tower") is a luxury hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is also referred to as the Yelken Hotel.

The hotel, whose construction started in 1994 near the Persian Gulf, opened its doors to its customers on December 1, 1999. The hotel is built on an islet on the seashore, which was previously created by lowering large rock blocks into the sea. The hotel has a reputation for being the world's first 7-star hotel. And in addition to staying at the hotel, daily cultural tours are also organized. Although Burj Al Arab means Arab Tower, it is also called Yelken Hotel because it architecturally resembles a sail floating in the sea.

The outer surface of the hotel is made of large cloth fabrics in order to reduce the existing weight and to ensure the circulation of hot air. With this aspect, different color figures are formed on the outer surface illuminated by floodlights at night.
