Just fantastic. Must visit for all the Dubai travellers also Dubai mall is very near to it and it has a fantastic musical fountain in the night. One can travel by Dubai Metro to reach this place from airport straightaway tallest building in the world which is worth your time.

Wow! Awesome! Liked this much more than the other viewing tower in nearby Palm..VIP was worth it, just spend the extra. Buying online was a bit slow, but also worth the time saved. Be prepared to be patient. There is a ton of people and the traffic is a bear BUT still worth it IMO! Loved the night view!

Astonishing views! Expensive experience but once in a lifetime. Downside is the queue to take the elevator to go down. I was able to get in a bit earlier than my booked time, to ve considered when booking as the waiting time to get in can also be extended.

had an incredible experience visiting the Burj Khalifa in Dubai! We planned our visit meticulously, having already purchased tickets in advance. Additionally, we had the pleasure of booking dinner at the Burj Club, where we were treated to a sumptuous 3-course meal with a breathtaking view of the musical fountains.

The highlight of our visit was the incredible lift experience, which felt like stepping into a 3D world. However, it's worth noting that the place was bustling with tourists, all busy capturing photos of this iconic landmark.

Overall, I absolutely loved the trip, especially exploring the vibrant city of Dubai. It's a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an unforgettable experience!

I recently had the privilege of visiting the world-renowned Burj Khalifa, and I must say, it is an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Dubai. This architectural wonder has truly left a lasting impression on me, and I am still in awe of its grandeur.

As you approach the area, the sheer height of the Burj Khalifa becomes evident, dominating the mesmerizing Dubai skyline. The building's iconic design and sleek exterior make it an instant standout among the surrounding structures. You can't help but feel a sense of excitement building up as you get closer.

What a sight to be able to see the current tallest building in the world - a civil engineering and architectural masterpiece. Easily visible from the moment you arrive in Dubai by plane or from just about any view in the city. I only had a short layover in Dubai so unfortunately did not go up the tower nor see it at night from the ground, but it was an impressive sight to see.

Expensive to visit but worth a visit to the top. Magnificent building architecture, the burj is a masterpiece of mega structures. You can easily spend more than an hour on top, take pictures and enjoy the city view from the sky. There’s a cafe and a souvenir shop on 124th floor. Expect long queues even on weekdays. Best time to visit in my opinion is around sunset as you can enjoy daytime and night-time view of the city.

Wonder of Engineering. Such an excellent engineering works especially the base design. Fantastic. Its world's tallest building as of now. Visited with friends. Amazing experience with later light show and water fountain. It's an prestigious matter to have a lasr show on this building for any vital festivals, film promotion etc. Must visit place. I would like to visit with my family again, hopefully soon.

Definitely a must see, no matter where you come from. Currently being the tallest building in the world, is a state of art as a whole and a very complex engineering project. The view is simply amazing, no matter if it's day or night time. Staff was very friendly and polite, the place is extremely clean considering the number of tourists around and it's easily accessible and connected with other attractions in the area. The entrance fee is cheap and even the building looks nice from outside, you shouldn't miss the view from the top. The building is sometimes used as a big screen for projections, while the music plays at the fountains. I also recommend visiting Sky Views, to see Burj Khalifa from Outside - at night, when all the lights are on is quite impressive.

Burjkalifa really amazing place in #Dubai very natural and beautiful............

Really I love it .....

It was incredible to be on the highest building to stand till date. The architect is just wow. The lights in dark and led screen adds more beauty to it. We went to 124 and 125 floors and the view was just wow. We went at night around 7 PM, the city full of lights is just amazing to watch from the tallest building. There was crowd as you would expect but the management is so nice that we got there in no time. The place is unbelievable.

It's stunning, but at the end of the day it's just a tall building surrounded by a manufactured city in the desert. The engineering is impressive, the super fast elevator is impressive and the view is breathtaking. BUT we had the Silver VIP package which meant we skipped a lot of the massive queues that everyone else had to go through to see anything. Pay to play for a decent view of neon lights....
Amazing place. Must visit if you are in Dubai.

The area around is amazing. Night time is the best, as it is much cooler than the day. We had been in April. During night, they have one of the best water and light shows you can see.

Amazing! However, you can spend your day inside the mall, huge one with everything you need inside! The shopping area and coffee shops and restaurants around the Burj and very good.

Oh, let me tell you about my incredible experience visiting the Burj Khalifa! It was absolutely mind-blowing from the moment I stepped foot in Downtown Dubai. The sheer height of the building is awe-inspiring, and you can't help but feel a rush of excitement as you enter. The elevator ride to the observation decks was so fast, it felt like a thrilling ride! And when those doors opened, wow, the views were absolutely breathtaking. I could see the entire city spread out below me, and even catch a glimpse of the vast desert. The staff was so friendly and shared fascinating stories about the tower's construction. Though it gets busy, it's totally worth it, and I'll cherish those memories forever!

Having recently visited the Burj Khalifa, I'm left utterly awe-inspired by the experience. The sheer grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is beyond words. From the moment I stepped into the soaring lobby to the time I reached the observatory deck, the journey was nothing short of extraordinary.

The elevator ride itself was a thrilling adventure, whisking me to the 148th floor in mere seconds. As the doors opened, I was greeted by a breathtaking 360-degree view of Dubai's cityscape that stretched out to the horizon. The meticulous design of the observatory deck, with its sleek modern furnishings and expansive windows, made the experience even more immersive.

What truly sets the Burj Khalifa apart is its ability to transport visitors not only physically to incredible heights but also emotionally. The interactive displays that shared insights about Dubai's evolution and the tower's engineering were both educational and engaging. The telescopes provided a closer look at landmarks that seemed almost surreal from this lofty vantage point.

Although the experience was undoubtedly exceptional, it's important to note that the popularity of the Burj Khalifa can lead to sizable crowds and potentially longer wait times. Also, the ticket prices for the observatory deck are on the higher end, which might be a consideration for budget-conscious travelers.

In conclusion, my recent visit to the Burj Khalifa was an unforgettable adventure that left me with a renewed appreciation for human ingenuity and the boundless possibilities of architecture. If you're ready to be transported to new heights and immerse yourself in Dubai's urban marvels, the Burj Khalifa is an absolute must-visit.

I don't think I can say anything about this more than that it's stunning. I love this place and I would like to go there every day.♥️
I believe that you'll have a great experience watching the tallest skyscraper in the whole world with the amazing and stunning dancing fountain.
The Burj khalifa will probably be the best modern building you'll ever see in your life.
