Burj Al Arab is located in the Jumeirah Beach area of Dubai, 15 km from the main city centre and 25 km from Dubai International Airport. It is well served by taxis and has its own fleet of six chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, several BMWs, and a helicopter.
It stands proudly on a man-made island some 280 metres offshore and is linked to the mainland by a slender, gently curving causeway.
