Burj al-Arab, tower of the Arab or tower of no Arab (burj la arab)?
One of the world’s best hotels (so according to their web-site). Anyway, it is suppose to be seven star or something and I heard someone played tennis on the disc near the peak. And yes, it is suppose to look like a ship’s sail.
Some people go there for just a visit. However, be warned, male visitors must at the least be in shirt and shoes (no t-shirt and trainers) – and definitely not dressed in traditional Arab garbs. Or something like that. Sorry, but those were the rules.
Good news is that there is no particular dress-code for woman, so they are definitely not sexist.
