Post 38: Burj Al Arab

December 2, 2009; PJ Old Town; Post 38:


I think visitng Dubai will not be complete if this iconic building is not visit.

I have been watching Discovery Channel reporting the construction of this building and how magnificent interior of this building. I think this structure put Dubai on the world map...seriously...


Too bad the front guard does not allow visitor to go in for visit so I can only take a photo infront of the building. But....!!! there is a way to get inside too if anyone interested. The restaurant inside the hotel serving buffet. Cost estimate at Dirham 399/person then you are allow to go in and visit this hotel.
