The Burj Al Arab is one of the most recognisable buildings on Earth — a gleaming, sail-shaped tower rising from its own man-made island in the Arabian Gulf. Built to look like the billowing sail of a traditional dhow boat, it has become a symbol of modern Dubai and the United Arab Emirates. This 66-dot puzzle traces its dramatic curved silhouette. Find dot 1 and let's build this famous skyline together!
1–13 — The Mast and Tip
Start at dot 1 and connect through to dot 13 to trace the tall, curving mast at the very top of the building. This narrow section builds steady pencil control right from the start — a great warm-up before the wider shapes below. Encourage children to keep their lines smooth and slightly curved, just like the real sail.
Fun fact!
The Burj Al Arab stands about 321 metres (1,053 feet) tall, making it one of the tallest hotel buildings in the world. Its distinctive mast at the top even has a helipad, which has hosted tennis matches and golf demonstrations high above the sea!

14–26 — The Curving Sail
Continue from dot 14 to dot 26 to sweep out the building's famous curved front — the part that looks just like a sail filled with wind. Children practise a long, graceful outward curve here, one of the most satisfying shapes in the whole puzzle. A slow, steady hand gives the best sweeping line.
Fun fact!
The building was designed by architect Tom Wright, who wanted to create a structure as iconic as the Sydney Opera House or the Eiffel Tower. The sail shape was inspired by the traditional Arab dhow sailing vessels that have sailed the Gulf for centuries.

27–39 — The Back Support Frame
Trace dots 27 through 39 to draw the tall vertical support structure that braces the building from behind. This section introduces straighter lines mixed with gentle angles, giving children practice moving between curved and straight strokes in the same puzzle.
Fun fact!
The Burj Al Arab is not actually the tallest building in Dubai — that title belongs to the Burj Khalifa, which is over twice as tall! But the Burj Al Arab remains one of the most photographed buildings in the world thanks to its unique shape.

40–52 — The Main Tower Body
Connect dots 40 to 52 to fill in the wide main body of the hotel tower. This is the biggest section of the puzzle, helping children build focus and patience as the recognisable silhouette really starts to take shape.
Fun fact!
Inside, the Burj Al Arab is famous for its enormous atrium — tall enough to fit a 590-foot-high open space, one of the tallest atriums in the world. The lobby fountains inside are choreographed to dance in time with music.

53–66 — The Island Base
Finish the puzzle by connecting dots 53 through 66 to draw the base of the building and the artificial island it stands on. Just fourteen dots to the finish line — encourage children to complete the outline with a confident, grounded set of final lines.
Fun fact!
The hotel sits on its own private island, connected to the mainland by a curving bridge. Engineers had to build the island first, using sand and rock, before construction on the tower itself could even begin — the whole project took years of careful planning.
