Let me start by saying that I love the Burj khalifa. Let me start by saying that I love the Burj khalifa. It's a stunning building and a miraculous feat of engineering - this review is for the 'at the top' tourist experience. We booked for 10.30am and had a bit of a nightmare finding it within the enormous Dubai mall, so leave time! Be prepared to wait. A lot. We queued for an hour and that was relatively short - as we left the queue was three times the size. There is nothing to do as you queue - if you have kids bring something for them to do and eat!! We got to the lifts and had to squash inside, this is a really unpleasant 60 second experience - they need to put a few fewer people on each lift so it doesn't feel as claustrophobic. There were projections on the lift as we went up, but we couldn't see them due to the amount of people stuffed in. Upon arrival at the top, you queue again! Then you're shuffled off to have some staged photos taken, and shuffled again to go view the pictures - all before you can actually look out of the window!! This just didn't sit right with me. The photos, by the way, are about £60, which is wildly unreasonable. There's a gift shop too, of course. After all that however, the views are spectacular, and you can see far and wide! Absolutely gorgeous - we spent an hour up there, taking it all in. The way back down meant another queue and another squashed lift. With the amount of people that visit day by day I don't see how things could be made better, it is what it is, but if you go - go prepared!

At the Top Burj Khalifa” If you are on holiday in Dubai, you should definitely not miss the “At the Top Burj Khalifa”, but you should pay attention to a few things beforehand. Access is on the lowest floor in the Dubai Mall, is quite well written, you also come directly from the Dubai Fountain entrance to the entrance desks. It is best to book the appointment in advance with one of the different providers, otherwise you will be in line for a long time, there are several offers, with the highest viewing terrace (154. floor) is of course the most expensive, but that has something to enjoy this viewpoint, but in the normal case the 147 is also sufficient. Floor In combination with 124th and 125th. Floor. The prices for the visiting hours are also different, the highest being the prices at sunset, but you should also be at the entrance at least half an hour before so that you can get up in time. The elevator is already a hit, with video media support it goes up rapidly. Once at the top, you can take a tour of the building (all glazed) and get a great view of all of Dubai, you can see almost all neighborhoods, the sea, the Burj al Arab and the newly planned neighborhoods, the Dubai Fountain and the many skyscrapers. On some floors you can then go to the terraces with glass parapet, whereby no tour is possible here, but also has a great view and feels the airy height. This attraction is not exactly cheap, but still a visitor magnet, the entire service staff is very friendly and helpful. If this review has been helpful to you, please activate the "Helpful Button"!

excellent visit if you have just had a child; a massacre in all other (numerous) cases I strongly advise against doing this experience (I mean AT THE TOP that is the visit to the 124th floor). The line is inhuman. You'll be in the asylum long before you get anywhere near the fateful elevator. We were lucky enough to have a girl of almost two years and it was our pass to skip the line, but it was a random choice and I saw other families with children stuck in the human snake: a people-eating monster from an hour and a half or two hours of waiting, to be clear... the view is worth the visit, but not all the suffering that precedes it! the only two options you have are: 1 buy your ticket for the 144th floor, skipping the line (but paying dearly for the privilege) 2 go at dawn, there is a special ticket and the show must be wonderful besides three stars just because they made me skip the line: actually mine would be a 5 experience but I have to average with the many 1s I guessed from the many exhausted faces seen during the overtaking :-( PS I know that reading you will say “but nooooooo, I have booked with the time”; well, that time is really useless (except to start your ordeal towards the 124k floor!!!) because everyone enters at scheduled time, it is probably just a way to ensure that it is not overcrowded inside
