This is a collection of seven GigaPans in total that I have taken during my trip to Istanbul, August 2011. Click on each image to dive into the ultra high resolution interactive GigaPan. All of the panoramas were shot with the Canon 550D and the GigPan Epic Pro robotic head.
The Burj Al Arab (Arabic: برج العرب,Tower of the Arabs) is a 5-star rated luxury hotel located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. At 321 m (1,053 ft), it is the fourth tallest hotel in the world. The Burj Al Arab stands on an artificial island 280 m (920 ft) out from Jumeirah beach, and is connected to the mainland bya private curving bridge. It is an iconic structure whose shape mimics the sail of a ship. Source Wikipedia.
