In Dubai, it is not that hard to do. So Dania and I had our long awaited splurge at the Burj Al Arab Hotel – the world’s only self proclaimed 7-star hotel. You can’t even get near the building unless you are staying there or have a meal, drink, or spa reservation. $1,500 for a room was a little too steep, so we opted for lunch. We embarrassingly ordered only one course each, which was still extremely pricey (a weak dollar and 7-stars = not good combination). However, the view over the city was definitely worth it.
In the elevator down, we started talking with a couple from Jordan. The man was one of the IT people for the hotel, and he was able to get us into the other underwater restaurant (we had tried earlier, but you have to have a reservation there to see it). I almost would have preferred to eat there. There are massive windows onto the Gulf Sea with many large and colorful fish swimming around. We saw the VIP room witch goes for $10,000 a night – before drink and food. Must be nice…

Oh man...I hope $500 was an exaggeration!
