The Best Hotel in The World

Burj-Al-Arab Hotel

Burj-Al-Arab hotel was acknowledged as the best hotel in the world (by Institutional Investor Magazine)
This Hotel was designed to resemble a billowing sail, Burl Al Arab soars to a height of 321 metres, dominating the Dubai coastline.

Burj-Al-Arab offers an unforgettable sight at night, surrounded by choreographed colour sculptures of water and fire.
This all-suite hotel reflects the finest that the world has to offer.


The Construction of Burj Al Arab began in 1994. It was built to resemble the sail of a dhow, a type of Arabian vessel. Two “wings” spread in a V to form a vast “mast”, while the space between them is enclosed in a massive atrium. Architect Tom Wright said “The client wanted a building that would become an iconic or symbolic statement for Dubai; this is very similar to Sydney with its Opera House, or Paris with the Eiffel Tower. It needed to be a building that would become synonymous with the name of the country.

The architect and engineering consultant for the project was Atkins, the UK’s largest multidisciplinary consultancy. The hotel was built by South African construction contractor Murray & Roberts. The hotel cost $650 million to build.

The interior of the hotel was designed by Khuan Chew, Design Principal of KCA International. Other projects by Khuan Chew include the Sultan of Brunei’s Palace, Dubai International Airport, Jumeirah Beach Resort Development, Madinat Resort and much more.The Burj Al Arab features the tallest atrium lobby in the world, at 180 meters (590 ft). The atrium is formed between the building’s V-shaped span. The atrium dominates the interior of the hotel, and takes up over one-third of interior space. It can accommodate the Dubai World Trade Center building, which, at 38 stories, was the tallest building in Dubai from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s.

The Ancient Temple : BOROBUDUR

Image
The Borobudur is a temple with spectacular structure surrounded by steamy jungles. This ancient building on the isle of Java is an impressive site. The detailed carvings on the many relief panels and the abundant Buddha statues coupled with it's shear size make this temple quite unique. The lower tier of the temple is covered with erotic imagery that was considered offensive to the sensibilities of the local Muslim population and is covered with stone and plywood to make the temple more acceptable. One can still catch a glimpse of the exotic forbidden 9th century carvings in places though. This unexpected taboo adds to the mystique of this temple. Try to catch the temple early in the morning for the best light and to beat the heat! It's Really hot and humid out there! The rich photographic opportunities are not just limited to this ancient structure but also extend to the local people and their way of life. Borobudur temple located in the Jogjakarta city on central Java. Bo...
