What a beautiful picture, it's great. I have never seen that kind of building.

¡¡Great!!

PD:

Sorry for my bad writting english.

See u

Matthew Walters, on December 19, 2006, said:

It is a stunning hotel, thanks for the compliment.

They do not have single or double rooms, just two-storey suites. (I didn't stay there, just drank a coffee.)

I wouldn't worry about the english, it's probably better than my efforts would be at writing in your local language :)

Luthfi Amara, on December 22, 2006, said:

Matthew Walters, on December 22, 2006, said:

Amazing building... and to think it's taller than the Eiffel Tower and only 60m shorter than the Empire State.

This is my country

ynwjog, on June 5, 2007, said:

这是全球最豪华最奢侈的唯一的七星级酒店,整个酒店装饰部分光黄金就用了27吨。(我昨天才在中央四台看到了这个,在这大酒店里有个中国女孩在那工作,因为她的勤奋努力聪慧,已经从一般的服务员提升为了专管贵宾房及总统套房的管理人员,为这些客人安排服务,年薪约五十万,还有,好象这儿的总统套房大约一天要2万美金左右,不太记得了。错了也别怪我啊!)

qmofi, on August 20, 2007, said:

Just for your information all of you; The ammount of gold they use in this building is very huge, They also have a very crazy resturant where they have a shark fish living with many types of fish without eating them, it is the only one in the world. I have been in there, do you know that there are some poeple staying in there for years,,,,,, !!!

qazqwe, on August 28, 2007, said:

Hi Matthew,

Pls could you tell me what is the cheapest option of getting inside the Burj al Arab hotel to have a tour and the top floor view.

Many Thanks

Matthew Walters, on August 28, 2007, said:

Just turn up! You can wander around quite freely, and take an elevator up to the restaurant at the top.

your photo has been stolen by flicker user http://www.flickr.com/photos/41362086@N00/1466577731/?addedcomment=1#comment72157602229436464

Matthew Walters, on October 2, 2007, said:

Thanks Jason. I eventually found out how to file this with Yahoo legal. Flickr obviously don't care about copyright theft, as they seem much slower to react than Panoramio mods.

Dr. Keats, on October 2, 2007, said:

Actually, filing an NOI with Yahoo is pretty easy, once someone alerts you to the theft. And Flickr do care about copyright theft - I've reported several infringing accounts, and seen them binned because of theft, usually within 24 hours..

There's been a a Forum thread raging about this on Flickr for the last few hours; if the guy doing the posting had alerted you earlier, the matter would have been resolved earlier...

rosina lamberti, on October 2, 2007, said:

hi matthew thanks for link have reported theft with yahoo as well :)

Matthew Walters, on October 2, 2007, said:

Hi Dr Keats. The point I was trying to make about flickr is that the forum mods didn't seem to be too helpful, it took a few postings for them to highlight the required action. It just seems a better process here - we find out about the infringement, drop an email to Panoramio, and the account is gone.

I TAB, on April 5, said:

Hello Marco, Great your Nikon D100, and you use it very well. I guess you used a tripod, for an exposition of 3 S. Do you choose 3 S manually, or the camera did it for you ? Just a little comment. I note that there is a very little shaking in the photo, the boat and lights are not perfectly clear. But, due to the great distance and long exposition, it is difficult to have a better result. Anyway, you did a good job, and thanks for sharing your superb photos. Ilyess from Tunisia سلام من تونس

Matthew Walters, on April 5, said:

Thanks Ilyess. The shot was hand-held, I probably took a few and chose the least shaky to upload. The trick is to breathe out slowly, rather than holding your breath.

The camera was probably on prgram mode, but I might have used centre metering to get the exposure right for the building.
