The whole experience of the tallest building in the world (currently) is out of this world. The views from the top of the viewing platform on the 124th floor observation deck of the whole of Dubai are exceptional and on a clear day you can apparently see Iran! The views are not for those who dislike heights as the platform... More

it is a gorgeous building. Very good introduction of the building on the first floor before going up. Only thing I wish it would actually go all the way to the tip top, it only takes you to the 124th floor. I believe there is 160 floors.

We were very lucky to be up there on a crystal clear day with amazing views to the Burj Al Arab and beyond. The vista is incomparable and not to be missed. The whole experience was very efficient organised and there is minimal queuing or hanging about despite the understandably large numbers of the people going up and down.

We prebooked our tickets in the Uk before we left and paid around £20 each for them. Had we bought them on the day, they would have cost around £60 each! At £20 it is good value. You travel 125 odd floors in 60 seconds to the viewing floor, walk around that for as long as you like (about 15... More

The folks here are friendly and helpful from the initial purchase of the ticket, to getting on the speediest elevator to your departure. This landmark is fascinating, and on a clear day, the sights are incredible. I actually stopped taking pictures when I realized there are so many posted on tripadvosor that are practically perfect! After your visit, be sure... More

Everything was very well organised. The lift ride to the top was very smooth and didn't feel like it was moving. The only way to really tell was to watch the floor numbers getting higher and higher. The views from the top were spectacular but there was a haze which I assume is caused by the heat.

I liked the spectacular bird's eye view of new Dubai and Jumeriah Beach area seen from the 120th viewing deck. We could also see as far away as the port area even though it was a hazy day. The streaming spaghetti ribbons of freeways seen from above are most memorable. The city's tall superstructures surround these highways. It was evident... More
