At 321 meters (1,050 ft), the Burj Al Arab is the second tallest building in the world used exclusively as a hotel. However, the Ryugyong Hotel in Pyongyang North Korea (unfinished for over 20 years), is 9 meters (30 ft) taller, and the Rose Tower, also in Dubai, topped Burj Al Arab’s height at 333 meters (1,090 ft), becoming the world’s tallest hotel.

One of its restaurants is located 200 meters (660 ft) above the Persian Gulf, offering spectacular views of Dubai. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge.

Petronas Twin Towers

The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur were the world’s tallest buildings before being surpassed in 2004 by Taipei 101. However, the towers are still the tallest twin buildings in the world. The 88-floor towers are constructed largely of reinforced concrete, with a steel and glass facade designed to resemble motifs found in Islamic art, a reflection of Malaysia’s Muslim religion. The towers feature a sky bridge between the two towers on the 41st and 42nd floors.

It is not directly bolted to the main structure, but is instead designed to slide in and out of the towers to prevent it from breaking during high winds. The sky bridge also acts as a safety device, so that in the event of an emergency in one tower, people can evacuate by crossing the sky bridge to the other tower.
