Very efficient tour to get to the 124 floor, good view, would have been better on a clear day, if there is such a thing in Dubai, similar to most other modern high buildings with tours to not the top. More

If you wish to visit the viewing platform it will be necessary to book in advance, because on the day we visited the only slot available was late evening. But in all honesty its main impact is its dramatic presence in the landscape. More

Accessible by the metro (either with a small bus ride or 10-minute walk)...the fountain beside it is beautiful, especially during the light shows...and the "at the top" (false advertising given that it's "only" on the 124th floor) is worth the price of admission. More

It is what it is, you go up the lift and look out the windows. Very impressive but for me it lacked something special. Im glad we did it and i would recomend it but i wont do it again. make sure you book in advance to get the discount because its not worth the full price admission! More

Brilliant way to view Dubai. If heights are a bit of an issue for you - fear not, my daughter was a little bit apprehensive but once inside the lift it was a speedy and smooth trip to the 124th floor. Once you reach 'At The Top' the area was very spacious and there was no pushing and shoving to... More

You can buy your tickets at the ticket office, but the best thing to do is buy & reserve your tickets for "At the Top" tour of the Burj Khalifa online- and a day or two in advance if you can. They are quickly sold out, especially the tours during the day between 830am- 9pm. There is also an option... More
