Arrived at 4pm at the burj khalifa via the entrance of the Armani Hotel (omg what an amazing place!!) & took the lift up to the 123rd floor. The views are amazing but you only really get access to 1/3 of the tower. You can see the burj, racecourse, fountains & the world among others. We were given an ice... More

I planned the day out to be at the Dubai Mall in the afternoon and then around sunset go up in the Burj Khalifa and this worked out perfect. Observation decks are all relatively the same from one to the next, but the Burj Khalifa is a little special. It is the tallest observation deck in the world (crazy to... More

If you are going to Dubai you must visit the Tower at the top. Book before you go though, it is really busy and booked in advance. The skyscrapers look minute looking down. Sunset is amazing.

Didn't get the chance to go on the top of this giant tower, just had a look from outside night time, still I am wondering how the world will look like from up.

BOOK EARLY AND STILL PREPARE TO WAIT This is my best advice for those wanting to visit the tallest building in the world. My fiance and I did not book very far in advance because we did not know what our plans would be in Dubai and didn't want to commit to something too early on. We went to the... More

Nice experience but expected more from it... not really close to the top of the building. Did it during the night, it was foggy so I would recommend checking the weather from outside :)

Great views of Dubai and the surrounding area. Beautiful building. Make a reservation beforehand. Located right next to the Dubai Mall and the Dubai Fountains.

The view up there was spectacular! Though it was a bit pricey and and I went on a misty day, it's still a worthwhile experience.
