How to take good photos of the Burj Al Arab?

If you want to visit the Burj Al Arab just from the outside to take some photos, I recommend you not go to the entrance. First, because the parking lot is fenced, it will be challenging to take good pictures. You will also find many people trying it, so the task will not be easy.

It is best to take pictures from the public beach, Jumeirah Beach, or the Madinat Jumeirah (photo), a shopping complex with excellent views of the Burj Al Arab.

Tips for visiting the Burj Al Arab

The staff is amiable so don't hesitate to ask them to take a picture or video of you.

Tea time is a very touristy experience, so if you are looking for more exclusivity, I recommend going for lunch or dinner at one of the restaurants.

You can easily spend two hours at the site so go early.

If you want to have views of Dubai from above, check that you are choosing one of its restaurants on the 27th floor and not those on the first floor and ground floor.
