First of all Dubai wanted to create the most luxurious hotel on the entire planet. The Burj Al Arab was built. This hotel reaches high up into the sky at around 341 metres in height. This hotel is a unique icon of Dubai, and it was built to resemble the sail on an Arabian Dhow. The hotel is nothing to be sneered at, it even sits on a man made island. This self proclaimed 7 star hotels is the only one of it’s kind across the world, and when you can see what the rooms look like, its difficult to disagree with them. Now the rooms may be expensive normally, but the Royal Suite will cost you around 29,000 dollars every night. There is a marvelous restaurant that has been built on the lower floors of this hotel, and it has a massive 1,000,000 litre Aquarium in the middle.

This next building has been under construction for the past 5 years and is huge. The tallest building on the planet now is the Burj Dubai, reaching a massive height of almost 820 metres. The previous tallest building was the KVLY-TV mast which towered at just over 628 metres. It will be a while now before there is another building built taller than this. This construction is supposed to be finished by the end of 2009, and the rooms will be costing an incredible amount. The average cost per square metre will cost in the region of 43,000 dollars, meaning the whole office will be around 1 million dollars upwards.

Dubai holidays are on the rise, but for those that want to travel here, make sure you save up a fair amount. Christmas holidays expect to benefit from this, but with competition from areas like Maldives holidays, they may have trouble getting the tourists.
