The iconic, sail-shaped Burj al-Arab is known as the "world's only 7 star hotel." Given that there is no official hotel rating greater than 5 stars, the title seems to be a bit of a marketing ploy. Nevertheless, the hotel is extremely opulent and is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. At 322 m (1,056 ft), the Burj al-Arab is the third tallest hotel in the world.

i like the pic but it is not straight , horizon lower on left, and tower of Pisa for the hotel. otherwise everything else i like
The horizon is only a fraction of a degree off level. It's an optical illusion as a result of the composition and the fact that the road leading to the island is built up higher than the horizon.
