As one of the most luxurious hotels in the world, the Burj Al Arab has a refined atmosphere, and the dress code reflects its high standards. To ensure a comfortable and respectful experience, guests are expected to dress smartly for the tour. While there is no strict formal dress code, smart casual attire is highly recommended. For men, collared shirts, trousers, and closed shoes are appropriate, while women should wear dresses or blouses paired with trousers or skirts.

Since the Burj Al Arab is an upscale venue, you’ll want to avoid overly casual attire like shorts, flip-flops, and tank tops. If you’re planning to dine or visit one of the luxury restaurants within the hotel after your tour, it’s advisable to opt for even more formal attire, such as a button-down shirt or a nice blouse and tailored pants or skirt.

The Inside Burj Al Arab tour is a family-friendly experience, although guests should note that this tour is generally recommended for children above the age of 8, as it’s designed for a more mature audience who can appreciate the luxury and history of the property. Children are welcome on the tour, but it’s important to ensure that they are well-behaved throughout the visit, as the tour experience is meant to be a peaceful and educational journey through one of the world’s most prestigious hotels.

For children under the age of 8, the hotel may recommend other family-friendly experiences within Dubai, as the Burj Al Arab is often visited by those seeking a quiet and sophisticated environment. It’s always best to check with Things To Do UAE for any specific age restrictions or family packages available.
