THE BURJ Hotel in Dubai is a new" Wonder of World " behold to the extraordinary -- the world's tallest hotel is a sail-shaped architectural tour de force. The Royal Suites within are as daring and decadent as their shell, rivaling the stuff of Arabian myths.

Touch down on the rooftop helipad and proceed to your palatial retreat, adorned with rich fabrics and furnishing made from precious materials. A grand marble-floored entrance foyer leads you inward, where the chandeliered dining room table is set for a sultan.

• 12 days in Egypt , Dubai and Jordan, Including Petra

The private elevator, private butlers, elaborate cinema, rotating bed, ceiling detail and Arabic majlis (meeting rooms) astound. Gargantuan, marble-floored baths with Jacuzzis and plush-pillowed seating are private spas unto themselves.

Enjoy larger-then-life sea views by day and city lights by night, all from dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. Technology anyone? See who is at the door and let them in with your TV remote. Use the laptop and Internet access to stay on top of things at home while you are on top of things in Dubai.
