The Basics

The Burj Al Arab is located on its own private island, connected to the mainland by a bridge. It features luxurious suites, several world-class restaurants, a spa, and the Skyview Bar with panoramic views. While the hotel is exclusive, non-guests can visit by making reservations for dining or guided tours. The “Inside Burj Al Arab” experience offers an immersive look at its stunning design and history. Book in advance as slots fill quickly.

Things to Know Before You Go

Reservations are essential for non-guests wishing to enter. Dress codes are strictly enforced, with smart casual or formal attire required for restaurants and tours. Photography is allowed but with restrictions in certain areas. Plan to spend 1-2 hours for a tour or dining visit. It’s also worth noting that access to the island is limited to visitors with confirmed bookings.

How to Get There

The Burj Al Arab is situated in the Jumeirah area of Dubai, easily reachable by taxi, private car, or ride-sharing apps. Public buses stop nearby, but a taxi is the most convenient option for direct access to the hotel’s private entrance. Parking is available for those driving, though prior confirmation may be required.

When to Get There

For the best experience, visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the hotel’s stunning architecture and surrounding views. Early evenings are ideal for dining or drinks, as the sunset provides a magical backdrop. If you're booking the Inside Burj Al Arab tour, earlier slots tend to be less crowded, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

Day Trips from Dubai

Make the most of your visit by combining it with nearby attractions. Spend the morning relaxing at Jumeirah Beach or visiting the nearby Wild Wadi Waterpark, both just a stone’s throw away. After your time at the Burj Al Arab, head to Souk Madinat Jumeirah, a traditional-style marketplace with shops, restaurants, and waterfront views. These attractions are all within close proximity, making it easy to enjoy a full day in the area.
