The Burj calls itself ‘the world’s only 7-star hotel’ and, whether or not you agree, it certainly one of the most iconic buildings in Dubai.
Soaring to a height of 321 metres, the Burj is designed to resemble a billowing sail. There are various viewpoints from which you can take photos but one of the best is from the public beach next to it.
From here you will get the ultimate Dubai shot of you on the beach with the Burj in the background.
It is one of the most photographed structures in the world, and consistently voted the world’s most luxurious hotel.
It is too expensive for the average visitor so here’s a little secret tip from me to you: go for a drink at the Dhow and Anchor in the hotel opposite (Jumeirah Beach hotel) and sit out on the terrace for an even better view – but don’t tell anyone I told you!
