The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب‎, Tower of the Arabs) is a luxury hotel located in the city of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Managed by Jumeirah hotel group, it is one of the tallest hotels in the world, although 39% of its total height is made up of non-occupiable space. Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) from jumeirah beach and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble the sail of a Ship. It has a Helipad near the roof at a height of 210 m (689 ft) above ground.
