Great report Uli!
We were in Dubai for 11 days in march, weather was just great with temps around 30 degrees celsius. One day after watching the European Tour Dubai Dessert Classic golf competition we asked the taxi driver to stop by the Burj Al Arab, amazing! Just seeing it from the outside (non guests are not allowed to walk inside without paying a fee) makes one wanna stay there. The only lack for this hotel is itīs location -in the middle of nowhere. Would indeed be great to stay there for one or two night to just use the facilities but I still prefer downtown Dubai (we stayed at Intercontinental).
Could you pleas tell as about the prices Uli? Like dining and such things, and also whatīs included in the room rate (breakfast?).

hi gustaf,
breakfast was not included. you could chose from a 4 page breakfast menu. if you sleep until lunchtime as we did, no need for breakfast. coffee comes for free from the butler service, by the way.
prices for dining are perfectly the same like in 5-star-hotels all around the worlds, pretty standard, no surprises. wine is a little bit over the average, but alcohol is expensive in UAE countries anyway. one free bottle is in each room, and you can bring one or two per person from the duty-free.
