The construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994 and opened in December 1999. It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. The architect and engineering consult for the project was Atkins (UK’s largest multidisciplinary consultancy). The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts. The hotel cost $650 million to build.
Interior
With over 17,000 square feet of gold plated surfaces and a media conjured seven star rating, the Burj Al Arab provides an onslaught of opulence. It is at once superfluous, tasteless, beautiful, modern, offensive, and insane. And very gold. It is what Vegas would look like if it was a real place and not just a corporate facsimile of fame and luxury. The Burj Al Arab is the real deal, an expansive unapologetic version of luxury that shouts in a world of whispers.

The entry lobby boasts fountains that rhythmically mimic the clapping of hands, a 600 foot tall atrium that appears plucked from an alien galaxy (above), and enough glam to assault eyeballs to the brink of bad taste and back in the name of good fun. Like trespassing in another world, the Burj offers a foreign sense of decadence created for the Sheikh in each of us.
