Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island that is 280 m (920 ft) from Jumeirah Beach and is connected to the mainland by a private curving bridge. The shape of the structure is designed to resemble the sail of a ship. It has a helipad near the roof, at a height of 210 m (689 ft) above ground.[1]

Charles Roader stated that the saltwater air enhance corrosion by a factor of 2 or 3 while Steven S. Ross stated that the buildings in Dubai would start deteriorating within a year or two.
