Burj Al Arab





Probably the best known image of Dubai, this is the fourth tallest (only fourth?) hotel in the World and was built to resemble the sail of the Arabian vessel, the Dhow.

It stands out on an island and is connected by a curving bridge to the mainland.
Note the helipad and the restaurant, I don't know whether I would be game to eat there, or to have a game of croquet on the helipad!
