The Burj Al Arab is getting a makeover! Since it’s opening in the year 2000, the Burj Al Arab quickly became one of Dubai’s biggest icons. As the world’s third tallest hotel, the Burj Al Arab earned itself a five-star rating. The revamp is likely to commence in the summer of 2019 although no major spoilers have been disclosed. With 1,790 square meters of 24-carat gold leaf, we’re wondering just how the hotel can get any better.
While we wait for the big reveal, let's take a look at 5 of the Burj Al Arab’s most iconic moments
