A visit to Dubai must include a date with the Burj al Arab, which sail-shaped hotel is fabulous, the icon of Dubai and the brain child of the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It is so exclusive that no one is allowed to pass through the doors leading to the hotel without reservation.

This meant that everyone, in groups or alone time was needed to eat something. Just visiting is not allowed. Sites and menus were in line, and a reserve I. had eight hours for non-viable and two drinks at the Sky view Bar on the 28th floor – for a price of $ 180. Sounds expensive? Lunch Tour at lower costs.

The silt left me over the fountain at the entrance of the Grand Ellipse similar firearm. Next to him, four balls of fire, eight meters in diameter, seemed to float in the air. The faad the hotel, covered with a Teflon coated fiberglass fabric screen, displayed spectacular lights of pastel, a mirage fabulous.

Elevators and escalators “entry level” flew up and down an interior that looked like a collage of shells, with waterfall illuminated by the center and at intervals of breaking nearly a hundred and fifty feet in the air. I was in the atrium, the highest in the world, about six hundred meters high. E ‘glass wall on the right shows a multi-storied fabulous aquarium with fish of all sizes.

An army of men in uniform was standing and talking with guests and close behind a huge desk and invited everyone to watch and walk. Both the gold around the world, more than five thousand meters of gold leaf decorated with 24 carat inside.

There are rooms at the Burj, only 202 of them are suites and two floors. Each is equipped with the latest technology, and each has its own crew of butlers and maids. Children play in their club on the 18th floor and the arrival of guests can be arranged by limousine or helicopter.

I am climbing the stairs at the lounge, where a string quartet played classical music. From there, lift me to the bar raised Sky view I lead through the lights, crystal, glass, mirrors, and flowers in a room where the small round tables on terraces at several levels, presented a spectacular view. As I was alone I stayed at the bar where I could watch the bartender mix exotic drinks like “Guess Date”, consisting of dried dates, flavored rum, Cointreau, pineapple juice, Freeze Monkey “,” a mixture of Oreo cookies, banana, vodka and coffee liqueur, and “Burj Royale,” a mix of vanilla vodka, blackberries and raspberries, topped with champagne.

I chose the words “Guess” and “Burj Royale” for two glasses of my reservation. Deluxe seemed to be a euphemism, when I discovered that I could feel with Hermes Elixir des Merveilles in the ladies’ room.

Burj Al Arab is seen as the most luxurious hotel in the world, even if the latest Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi the next day I visited seemed bigger and luxurious.

Visit the business with government dignitaries stay at the Emirates Palace Hotel, a large sprawling over half a mile from wing to wing. There are almost four hundred rooms and suites, meeting rooms for conferences forty, a ballroom that can accommodate 2,400 people and an auditorium for 1100. For an outdoor concert, there is room for 20,000.

Chefs from around the world, cook in 128 kitchens and use 11 pounds of edible gold to decorate the desert. Everything that is extreme. 114 domes, 1002 lamps. The Emirates Palace offers tailor the most expensive in the world, made accommodations for a mere million dollars.

Walking through the palace was almost intimidating. Everything was smothered. Sale of hotel and the rooms were as large as stadiums, exquisitely decorated with statues and Persian rugs, furniture, more expensive materials and beautiful as possible, networking and much gold. Men and women in the Arab candor and Abai seemed to float noiselessly, like many people in Western clothes and sat quietly walking, talking or whispering voice.

I discovered a sign of “Picasso Abu Dhabi.” The tunnel, its entrance flanked by men in livery, advertising rotating exhibits. It was so great that everything else in the hotel, with room after room of works by Picasso. Men, women and families have been assigned different visiting hours. This, fortunately, was the day for women.

E ‘was by chance that we, a small group could also enter the Emirates Palace. It was not intended to be a travel destination. A person who comes to Dubai has been deposited at the hotel and our guide had the opportunity to show what looked like a real treasure.
