All things considered it’s not a bad list. I’m not sure that stupid arab building belongs though, but overall it’s acceptable.

Poll taken by tourist outfit: New7Wonders Foundation

There are two ways to cast your vote online:

Register as a New7Wonders member and get 7 free votes

Register and Vote

Vote for your favorite candidate and receive a personalized New7Wonders Certificate featuring that monument (US$2)

Vote and buy Certificate

I guess if you poll tourists, a lot of them have been to that Burj Al Arab Hotel, Dubai.

Don't let its arab name distract you. That beautiful building was designed and built by WS Atkins Consulting Engineers, a British-based company. It's a much better use of Islamic money than madrassas and IEDs, you have to admit!
