We thought that it would be good to go to this attraction so headed there on our first day in Dubai. No it was fully booked unless you wanted to pay 4x the usual price for VIP tickets. We booked there for the next day. If you are travelling by Metro it takes about 30 mins of fast walking to... More

If your interested in architectural buildings then visit this place and if you want to say you visited the highest building in the world. But it's really not worth the ticket price. Getting to the top by elevator is fine, the queues are only 20 mins but on the way down expect to wait about an hour. The view from... More

we had an advance booking, but still couldn't get time slot for sunset viewing. the facility is well managed. Views from the top is fantastic. Nice exhibition as well showing the information about the construction of the building and people behind it. They took care to mention people from designers, engineers, to cleaning staff. Sport entrace price is too much... More

Apart from saying, "I've been in the tallest building in the world" and be at a lift until the 121st floor, there is nothing extremely exciting there. You could go to the Address hotel instead, have a drink and enjoy the view for longer. PS. it took us 25 mins to get the lift to the basement again.

Book through your hotel, it is much cheaper! The views from the terrace were quite spectacular. Be prepared for a bit of a wait.

I went here but did not book my tickets online. it was really expensive when purchasing tickets on the go. we realized that we could have gotten the tickets 4 times cheaper if booked online.

How could you come to Dubai and not go up the worlds tallest building? Before you even get up to the top the building looks incredible and you can get some really great photos of it from all over Dubai. Once you are up to the 124 floor (via a very fast elevator) the view is amazing and definitely worth... More

It was the best musical fountain show i have seen so far. Its very crowded but still a must place to go. Since its always very crowded, may be the management can look to organize some steps like structure there for everyone to enjoy the show. This can be a place for people to sit and watch the tower on... More
