The iconic Burj Al Arab hotel is already a symbol of Dubai. Those who travel to the emirate seek to pass by the sail-shaped hotel to take photos from a distance, whether from the beach or the bridge that connects the building to the mainland. Until today, typically, only those who stayed for at least one night could get to know the interior of the Tower of the Arabs. But that will change from this Friday, October 15, when the Inside Burj Al Arab tour will be launched, which will allow tourists to quench their curiosity about the hotel considered the most luxurious in the world.
