The prestigious hotel, the Burj Al Arab , which proudly stands in it's sail like form on the Jumeirah beach in Dubai has been awarded the Green Globe Certification.

The Green Globe certification , is a certification that is awarded for sustainable tourism

The Burj Al Arab has taken great efforts to conserve and judiciously use it's resources through ,regulating room temperatures in suites, grey water recycling ,and reducing water usage . It has even closely worked with the Dubai Wildlife Protection Office and veterinarians in it's Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project to help return turtles back into the wild.

The hotel which has won numerous awards like the The Best Hotel in the Middle East and Dubai' s Leading Hotel can add yet another award  to it's long list of achievements.

It is wonderful that world class hotels like the Burj Al Arab are striving to do their bit for the environment and I wish that it soars to greater heights and continues it's sustainable practices .
