"Designed to look like a billowing sail, the Burj Al Arab opened in 1999 on a man-made island specifically constructed for the property, just off the coast of Dubai. The hotel is all suites, with a basic suite comprised of two floors, a guest bathroom downstairs and a master bedroom and bathroom with a Jacuzzi upstairs. The hotel will shuttle passengers for free via buggy or bus to the Dubai souk (or market)--Rolls-Royces are available too, but they cost extra, as does the $41 breakfast. And watch out for that 10% service charge and 10% "municipality fee" that the hotel adds on top of the nightly rate. "
