If you want to go to the top, be sure and buy your tickets online prior to your visit. Breathtakingly beautiful structure.

Visitors must have a reservation for tea or a meal in order to get on the property. Once there, the lobby and mezzanine area that we had access to wasn't that expansive, but it was quite lovely. My daughters and I went for the afternoon tea: seven light courses over two-and-a-half hours. It was a wonderful experience and quite relaxing... More

A really impressive building from both the outside and inside. The fish tank and decor inside is over the top but fantastic. I'd love to stay here but came for cocktails which was fabulous. A must visit place in Dubai.

The main reason to visit the observatory is to climb the highest building in the world. Shame is only in the 124 (or 126th floor). Whatever reasons they have they should announce and not make you believe you will be at more than 800 m over theground. Upstairs the typical tourist traps. Not recommendable. The sight from every part of... More

All i did was to visit this hotel from far. The entrance is typically allowed for people who stay in this hotel. There is nothing really special when seen from the gate (which is about 500 meters from the foot of the tower itself). There is no viewing spot for this tower either, you have to stand on the main...

We visited the SkyBar at the top it was amazing by night. You must book in advance our hotel booked it for us and there is a £50 min spend per person. It is expensive but similar to London prices and well worth a visit

Wow amazing views of the Palm and down town Dubai. We went at night and again during the day to get the best of both. Fantastic cocktails - although there is a minimum spend of AED250 each payable on booking - but well worth it.

Since no visitors are allowed to go inside the hotel if you do not have restaurant or hotel reservation. I was tempted to book a restaurant, pay for expensive meal and go inside to see how wonderful this supposed to be a 6-star hotel. After I did, I must see it was totally not worth to do it. As a...

World's only 7-star hotel. Provides Hermes products in toilets. I was lucky enough to have a chance to have brunch on the 27th floor (Al Muntaha) of this super luxury hotel. And yeah, foods were good (not outstanding), service is exquisite, and views were really stunning where you'll find Jumeirah Palms on one side and the Burj khalifa standing on... More
