The Burj Al Arab (Arab Tower). It's the one that's shaped like a sail. And it is 7 star.

Its the Burj Al Arab in the Jumerah beach area, right next door to Wild Wadi.
One interesting fact is that it was designed by a German architect and if you look at the hotel from a certain angle you can see that in the hollowed out section is a cross shaped like a crucifix. The Dubai authorities threatened to take legal action against the German Firm for taking the mickey out of an Islamic state.

First of all, there IS NO SUCH THING as a seven star hotel, believe me, my family has a well-known reputation in the Travel world. The "Seven Star Hotel" in Dubai is actually a five star. Its real name is the Burj Al Arab. The nickname "seven star" was put there just to attract customers. I can tell you also that the furniture in there is hideous!

Not sure since couldn't afford to stay there but if you are going to Dubai, I do not recommend the Hilton at Dubai Creek. Another thing too - if you go to the Gold Souk, then beware - I bought some jewellery and paid by Maestro / Switch for 3060 dhs. They rang in 33060 dhs and when I spotted it they 'voided' the sale and did another one for the right amount. Both amounts were taken from my bank and I am still fighting to get it back. Have just contacted the Dubai police to start proceeddings against the shop for theft. Other than that - Dubai is great, but hot. Just be careful, is all!

It's called the Burj Al Arab and i was there last week!
We went for dinner in the restaurant on the 27th floor and it really is an awesome place.

The Dubai Inn? Desert Sands? The Shiek Hideaway?
The 7 Star Inn? Does this look like google.com? What's wrong with a Yahoo search? It is that nice box below the composition box, that says "Research your answer" that has the really neato Red "Y?" followed by a blank space, and then, the phrase in a clicker box "Search the Web"?
Duh?! (I kinda like the word 'Duh' for the smorgasborg of meanings it conveys, about me, about you, about the obvious!)
This is like pouring piss out of a boot , with the instructions on the heel... Duh! hehe, almost as funny as a Blonde joke!
