Slow Motion Run across from the LUXURIOUS 7 STAR HOTEL BURJ AL ARAB at PRIVATE JUMEIRAH BEACH Updated for 2024

Updated: February 21, 2024

Grateful to have stayed at the Burj Al Arab in 2019. I came to Dubai to run the Dubai Marathon and ran at the private Jumeirah Beach the day after the marathon which is why I have that hideous tan line from my running shorts! Embarrassing! Haha!

True Story: In 2006 I had an accounting client who went on vacation and brought me back a glass perfume bottle shaped like the Burj Al Arab. He explained how a man made island was built in Dubai and the most expensive hotel in the world, the Burj Al Arab, was built on that island. In 2006, I was a struggling single mom of 5 kids but made that my goal to see and stay at the Burj Al Arab one day. Fast forward 13 years later… As the Director of Finance of a large corporation I received a bonus large enough to travel to Dubai with 2 of my 5 kids (who didn’t have work or school obligations) and stay at the Burj Al Arab. I’m forever grateful for the experience and to be able to share that with my sons
