After much debate over going to the Burj Al Arab hotel for drinks or tea, we were told that our hotel is a 'sister' hotel. So the guests of our hotel can go to the Burj Al Arab during the hours of 4:00-6:00 for pictures.
Dad was still in meetings, so I took a 'buggy' ride over to the Burj Al Arab with all of my photo gear!
Once I got to the sky bar, (where we were last night for drinks) I could not believe the view during the day! The man made palm islands and the man made world islands were in clear view. Not to mention, our hotel and beautiful homes and buildings etc. etc. etc. The sky bar is taller than the Eiffel tower and only 200 feet shorter than the Empire State building. Needless to say, I felt like I was on top of the world!
This video was taken going up the elevator to the 'sky bar'....

View of the palm islands
In the distance, you can see the next palm islands that are under construction!
The World (under construction) There is already 1 residence built.
When completed you will be able to buy any island or country of your choice if your bank account allows.

The boardwalk you see is the restaurant at our hotel.
Here is a short clip of our hotel from the 'sky bar' at the Burj...
Private residences with private beaches!
