Burj Al Arab is one of the most luxurious and most expensive hotels in the world. It is located on an artificial island in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Burj Al Arab which means Arab Tower was built on a remote 280m from Jumeirah beach and it can be reached by a special bridge. It is estimated that the construction of this building, which was commissioned by Zayed Bin Sultan, would cost about 650 million US dollars. Sultan asked the building not to be too high in order truly to get the impression that the “Arab galley” sailing on the Persian Sea. He also demanded the hotel to be built of stone and sand. Due to the proximity of the African tectonic plates, sea currents and winds, there is a big risk that the island is flooded due to unpredictable weather. Since the sultan did not allow the height of the construction to increase, designers at the first time in the world used the hollow concrete blocks, which significantly reduce the strength of the waves and prevent erosion of the island.
