LOCATION
Burj Al Arab is situated on its own artificial island, 280 metres off the coast of Dubai's Jumeirah Beach. This iconic location provides breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf and easy access to the city's major attractions. The hotel is surrounded by lush landscapes and pristine beaches, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and urban sophistication. Its proximity to key destinations like the Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Marina, and the Palm Jumeirah makes it a perfect base for exploring the vibrant city of Dubai.
GETTING THERE
Travelling from the United Kingdom to Burj Al Arab involves a direct flight to Dubai International Airport (DXB), which takes approximately 7 hours from major UK airports such as London Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester. Upon arrival at DXB, guests have several transport options to reach the hotel. Private transfer services can be arranged through the hotel, providing a seamless and luxurious journey in a Rolls-Royce or even via helicopter for an unforgettable experience. Taxis and rideshare services are also readily available at the airport, with a drive time of about 30 minutes to the hotel.
WHEN TO GO
The best time to visit Burj Al Arab is during the cooler months from November to March, when temperatures range from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and exploring the city. During these months, Dubai hosts numerous events and festivals, enhancing the travel experience. April to October marks the hotter period, with temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, making it less comfortable for outdoor excursions but perfect for enjoying the hotel’s extensive indoor amenities and facilities. The air-conditioned interiors and world-class spa offer a welcome respite from the heat during the summer months.
