United Arab Emirates: Burj Al Arab & Jumeirah Beach Hotel

This is my first postcard from United Arab Emirates. *yay*

Located in the city of Dubai, the hotel on the left is named Burj Al Arab. It is the third tallest hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island 280 m from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland by a private curing bridge. The shape of the hotel is designed to mimic the sail of a ship.

Next to Burj Al Arab is the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and its located on the same beachfront area that was called Chicago Beach.
