Burj Al Arab
Our Opinion of Burj Al Arab
The most recent Angelfish visitors to Burj Al Arab were Dan & Jo.
There's no denying that the Burj is unique. Its iconic billowing-sail-inspired exterior lines are instantly recognisable, and the main atrium is dizzying. Service is impeccable, dining is exquisite, and prices are as eye-watering as the gaudy interiors.
Worth a night or two to tick off your bucket list or bring a bit of bling into your life.
