Burj-Al-Arab

Weather: Sunshine
Temperature: 37 C
Humidity: 61%

By far the most famous building in Dubai is the Burj-Al-Arab, the worlds only 7 star hotel, which is situated on a small artificial island some hundred meters off Jumeirah beach. The interior of the hotel basically only consists of gold, and the surrounding area is more or less like a farytale.

Friday evening we decided to go and have a drink at a bar called 360 degrees. This bar is also situated about a hundred meters off Jumeirah beach, where the view over Dubai and the Burj-Al-Arab is absolutely fantastic. This is more like a lounge, furnished only with white leather sofas and puffs (sakko sekker). Each table has a transparent champagne cooler with neon lights. The lights changes colours with the rhythm of the music, and all the surrounding hotels have different light shows. As you enter the Jumeirah Beach Resort, a driver will take you out to the club in a small golf cart. As you are closing in to 360 degrees you pass heaps of huge yatches and the entire Dubai hotel skyline appears. The place is like a big cyberspace tivoli! Andres - this is a club you will love! Maybe we should try to make reservations for new years...
