Hotel reference height 321m; island about 280m offshore.

New geometry authored in Blender: sail membrane, curved exoskeleton, twin glass wings, helipad, suspended restaurant, island, bridge, terrace pools, palms, coastal resort volumes. Detail proportions and shore context are interpreted, not surveyed or photogrammetric. Official images were used as visual references only and are not redistributed.
Web sea uses Three.js Water with an authored procedural normal texture. Lighting is an artistic time-of-day simulation, not solar ephemeris. Environment HDR and music reuse the existing Dubai project; see /dubai/SOURCES.txt for source records. JNX logo/favicon supplied by project owner, unchanged.
Blender source: output/burj-al-arab/Burj_Al_Arab.blend and Burj_Al_Arab_Night.blend.
Original source workflow: build_burj.py, Blender 5.2.1 / Cycles / RTX 4090 / OptiX, glTF export and meshopt compression.
