The Burj Al Arab in Dubai is renowned for its iconic sail-shaped design and ultra-luxurious interiors, crafted to embody opulence. Architect Tom Wright designed the 321 meter high structure to resemble a ship’s sail, creating a striking presence on an artificial island, 280 meters off Dubai's coastline. Burj Al Arab was inaugurated in 1999.
