IF YOU have ever wanted to tour the grand hallways and spaces of the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, now will be your chance.

The 5-star hotel has introduced Inside Burj Al Arab, a hotel tour that takes visitors on a journey inside the iconic property, with fascinatin­g tales and unique experience­s guaranteed.

Led by a butler, the tour, which costs AED 399 (about R1638), affords 12 lucky explorers a curated and immersive 90-minute experience.

Tours take place every 15 minutes between 9.30am and 8.30pm daily.

As a complement to the tour, premium experience­s are also available to guests. These include indulging in the hotel’s 24-carat Ultimate Gold Cappuccino, signature afternoon tea at Sahn Eddar in the atrium or a glass of champagne with mesmerisin­g ocean views at the new outdoor venue, “UMA”.

The curated Experience Suite’s digital interactiv­es provide insight into the history, the detailed design and architectu­re. And guests can also revisit some of the events hosted at the hotel in the past, such as David Guetta’s UH lockdown performanc­e earlier this year.

Ermanno Zanini, the regional vice-president and general manager of Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, said this is the perfect opportunit­y for travellers to experience the wonders of this world-famous landmark first-hand.
