Burj Al Arab
Famous for being the only 7-star hotel in the world and built on an artificial island, the Burj Al Arab quickly became a symbol of Dubai. A place like the Burj Al Arab is able to attract both sheikhs willing to pay at least 2,000 euros per night, and tourists looking for at least one picture of the outside. The only way to separate the curious from the customers is therefore its reservation system.
