Burj al Arab

Taken from the Madinat showing the contrast in architectural styles. This opulent hotel is in the background. It is located in Jumeirah, some 300m off shore on a man-made island & is one of the ten tallest hotels on the planet, six of which are in Dubai. The foreground buildings feature decorative wind towers which were used in bygone days to cool the buildings in the desert heat.
