The second tallest hotel in the world is the Burj Al-Arab (Tower of the Arabs) in Dubai (United Arab Emirates in Asia). It’s 320 metres tall. The hotel is situated on a man-made island 280 metres out of the beach and is designed in the shape of a sail. It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world.
Several years ago a Dutch architect Jan Sonkie built a very unusual house in Africa. It’s shaped like a football! “I’m crazy about football”, he says. He built his house in Malawi because he just likes Africa and would like to stay on the continent forever. Standing on a three-metre – tall brick wall, his home has become a popular tourist attraction.
