Many of Dubai's luxury hotels are ranked among the best in the world and the Emirate prides itself on the first seven-star hotel ever built in the world, Burj Al Arab. Most international hotel chains are well represented along with a large selection of local and regional hotels. Most hotels are just recently built and offer modern design and facilities to all specific requirements and tastes. Guesthouses and modest two star hotels provide a convenient and affordable accommodation option for budget travellers. While the facilities are limited, it is essential that the rooms are air-conditioned with en-suite shower and toilet. Another important factor is the location; Bur Dubai is an expanding area with many new hotels is within a few kilometres from the venue. Rental cars and taxis are extremely cheap in Dubai and make up for the lack of well-organized public transport .
