Conservation Note
Coastal development in Dubai affects marine habitats; many properties now run water-saving and recycling programs—travelers are encouraged to minimize water use and avoid disturbing shorefront wildlife.
Completed in 1999 on reclaimed land, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab was designed by architect Tom Wright to symbolize Dubai’s modern, coastal ambitions.
