Burj Al Arab: How to Visit, Restaurants and Afternoon Tea

No. It is a hotel rather than a ticketed attraction, and Jumeirah sells no general admission. The ways in that the operator publishes are staying at the hotel, booking one of its restaurants or bars, or taking the Inside Burj Al Arab guided tour. Jumeirah does not publish a page setting out causeway security procedure, so confirm access conditions when you book.

Jumeirah advertises the tour on its own site but publishes no price, duration or booking terms for it — the page carries a description only. Because the hotel has not published a figure, this page does not quote one. Check the tour's own booking page for the current rate.

Afternoon tea runs at Sahn Eddar, the lobby lounge, and as Sky Tea at Skyview Bar & Lounge. Jumeirah's own dining pages list no per-person price for either; it is quoted at the point of booking.

Jumeirah's own dining guide lists seven venues: Sal, Al Muntaha, Ristorante L'Olivo at Al Mahara, Al Iwan, Sahn Eddar, the pastry boutique Les Desserts, and the bars Gilt and Skyview Bar & Lounge. Each takes reservations through its own page rather than one house-wide booking line.

Al Muntaha. Jumeirah's own dining guide describes it as Michelin-starred fine dining 27 floors up, serving a refined fusion of modern French and Italian cuisine.

Jumeirah publishes "relaxed casual" for Sahn Eddar on that restaurant's own page. It does not publish a single written dress code covering every venue in the hotel, so check the individual restaurant page or ask when booking.

Jumeirah lists 800 323232 on the Sahn Eddar dining page. It is Jumeirah's central number and can route both stay and dining enquiries.

Burj Al Arab opens at 10:00 and closes at 23:00 every day it is open. The full breakdown by day of the week is in the table above. Hours can shift during Ramadan and on public holidays.

Closing time is 23:00, and it is the same on every day the venue opens. Check the table above before travelling late in the day.

Jumeirah does not publish parking or valet arrangements for day visitors on its Burj Al Arab pages, so this page makes no parking claim. Parking tariffs in Dubai are set by the operator and change without notice.

Burj Al Arab publishes hours for every day of the week, so unless it is a public holiday or an unannounced closure, yes. The hours that apply today are the ones in the table above, confirmed on the verification date at the foot of this page — and we do not publish a claim about today that the operator has not published.

Not here. This page publishes what the operator publishes about itself — hours, prices, contact details, and where it publishes none of those, that too — and no opinions, ratings or reviews of any kind. For what visitors say, the venue’s own Google Maps listing carries reviews from people who have actually been. Our editorial policy explains why we keep the two apart.
