Burj Al-Arab Hotel and Wild Wadi



This is the famous 7 stars hotel, Burj-Al-Arab. It is about 100 meters away from Jumeirah Beach. I heard from some locals that it is initially designed to be a offshore casino, but they couldn't get the license for that, so it is finally converted to a 7 stars hotel. The road connecting the beach to the hotel was built after they failed to get the license. To enter the hotel, you have to pay 500 dirhams as deposit and you have to spend this money in the hotel. Due to this, we did not enter the hotel.


The hotel is not the only famous spot a long Jumeirah Beach, there are quite a number of other famous hotels also. Right in-front of the hotel entrance, there is a water park called Wild Wadi. The entrance fee to this park is 140 dirhams (RM140) for the whole day. Children price is cheaper.


I hardly see this kind of long luxury vehicle in my country, but it there are many in Burj-Al-Arab hotel. I heard the hotel is using this kind of vehicle to pick-up their guests. We wandered at the hotel entrance for about 45 minutes, we saw 3 cars like this enter the hotel.


This is Wild Wadi, the water park right in-front of the 7 stars hotel. It is a nice place to visit. We did not enter the park, because when we arrived it was a bit late (after lunch). Or else we may enjoy the whole day inside.


This is the map in-front of the park. From the picture, we can see that it is a real big one. Really get attracted by this park.
