sail high in the sky
1 as you look out your airplane window and approach Dubai, the Persian Gulf twinkles in the sun. Something
catches your eye. It's a large building on the water, but it looks like a white sail blowing
in the wind. This sail, you quickly realize, is where you'll be staying during your visit to Dubai
in the United Arab Emirates. You've climbed the stairs to the top of Eiffle tower in Paris, France
You've walked across the bridge connecting the Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpue, Malaysia.
Now you'll be sleeping in one of the most architecturally unique hotels in the world, the Burj Al Arab,
or "Arabian Tower"
2 After you land at the Dubai airport, a hotel representative greets you. Then she takes you to
a Rolls-Royce limousine. After you long flight, you feel refreshed when the chauffeur presents you with
a rose and cold towel. This is the beginning of the exceptional service you'll experience throughout your stay
at the Burj Al Arab. As the limousine crosses a private bridge to an is land, you get your first close-up view of
one of the tallest hotels in the world at 1,053 feet (321 meters)
