Burj Khalifa, Dubai. Score: 5 for trying to reach God or at least the clouds. It's not just a skyscraper — it's an architectural hint to humanity.: "Are you feeling weak?!" Riding an elevator at the speed of light, you manage to read all the SMS messages for a year, rethink life and shake hands three times with a neighbor who is already green from overloads. View from the top: Dubai below looks like a set of children's construction kit that they forgot to remove. Cars are ants, people are dots, and the Persian Gulf is a puddle in which someone forgot the blue dye. You feel like Zeus on Olympus until you realize that your ticket cost like renting this Olympus for an hour. Queues: to get to the observation deck, you need to queue longer than the road to Abu Dhabi. Nearby are tourists in Panama hats, Instagram bloggers taking selfies with a selfie stick, and children asking, "When are we going to fall??" — Prices. A bottle of water stands at the top like an oil stock. I want to shout, "I'm already in heaven, but they still pay for heaven here!!" — The wind. On the 148th floor, he whistles as if it is not the air, but the souls of those who have not calculated the budget of the trip. — Souvenirs. The store sells a mini replica of the Burj Khalifa. Put it on the shelf and you immediately feel like the ruler of Dubai. Bottom line: Burj Khalifa is a must-see for those who want to: a) feel like a fly on a steeple, b) spend a year's supply of adrenaline in 3 minutes, c) take a photo, after which all your other trips will seem like a trip to the garage. PS Advice: Do not look down if you are afraid of heights. And don't look into your wallet if you're afraid of the truth. After the visit, you will be delighted, devastated and slightly downwind.

The majestic symbol of modern progress and the desire of society strives for new heights every day. The height of the skyscraper remains unfathomable even after fifteen years. The architecture of the building is made in a modern style, and under the beautiful cover it carries a strong foundation that has not collapsed even after so many years. I advise you to take a look.

The building is very beautiful and majestic. They say the locals call it the Christmas tree. It is incredibly beautifully illuminated at night, and you can even order a greeting card on the building. She wasn't inside. But it's very beautiful around, there are many places where you can sit down. There is also a singing fountain, Dubai Mall and more nearby.

Our family recently visited Burj Khalifa, and the impressions were unforgettable! Climbing to the observation deck of the tower gave us breathtaking bird's-eye views of Dubai. The architecture of the building is amazing, and modern technology creates the feeling of a real engineering miracle. It was especially pleasant to watch the sun set over the city and enjoy the panoramic views at night, when the city lit up with millions of lights. We strongly recommend visiting Burj Khalifa to anyone who dreams of seeing something special and unique.

The Burj Khalifa is an incredible sight! An architectural masterpiece that impresses with its grandeur and elegance. When you see it live, it takes your breath away from the scale and beauty. It is especially impressive in the evening lighting — it shines like a real pearl of Dubai. Full of delight and the feeling that you have touched something grandiose. A must—visit, even if you don't plan to climb to the observation deck - just admiring the outside is priceless!

I had a vacation in the UAE in 2018, I'd love to go back there! I have something to compare it with, but the Burj Khalifa is not in competition! The scale is really impressive. 1. It's true that the elevator goes up to the 124th floor in 1 minute and you don't feel it! 2. Impressive interior!. 3. Impressive panoramic view! 4. An exciting show from the height of the singing fountains! 5. Interior, design how everything is thought out and arranged! The show on the tower itself is impressive! Everything is just delightfully beautiful, like in a magical land or on another planet. I advise you to visit and buy a ticket, and you will definitely go up there, it's worth it!

I didn't like it at all. The windows are dirty everywhere, and it's probably only possible to take beautiful photos in the daytime or at the golden hour. After sunset, the light from inside is reflected in the glass + dirt. It turned out to take several photos only close to the glass. The queues are huge, as are the prices. Half of the trouble is getting there, then from there to go down, you also need to stand in line.

We visited Burj Khalifa itself in the morning, standing in a small queue for tickets, and took an observation room on the 148th floor, not cheap. First, they gathered us in a small room, offered us tea, juice, and cookies. Then we passed the control, as at the airport. We had a short tour. I raise and lower the staff. No one limited our time on the observation deck, and we were impressed. It was interesting to see the city and the desert outside the city, the bay. When they rose, everything was in a small haze, it gradually dissipated.Coffee with the image of Burj Khalifa, juice, water and biscuits were also offered. The Burj Khalifa Square also has something to see and where to walk, it's beautiful both during the day and when it gets dark, with lighting, from 18.00 you can see a musical light show of fountains, the music is always different and the projection on the Burj Khalifa too. You can buy a ticket to the pontoon and watch the show from the water. You can also take a boat ride along the canals and to the fountain. It's very beautiful and unforgettable.

The view is beautiful, for which the highest rating. But, to be honest, not mine))) they rose at the request of the children. Tickets were bought in advance on the website, so we didn't have to queue for tickets. There was only a queue for the elevator waiting for us. I was moving fast enough. There are more visitors on the 124th floor and the view is better. We went up to 125, but the windows were a little dirty, we didn't spend much time and went back down to 124

The view is certainly cool, but in autumn there is some kind of haze/fog in the city (which is why nothing is visible beyond 5 km). The prices for souvenirs at the top are from 600 rubles, the queue to the elevator after the queue for tickets is about 1.5 hours! At the top, everything is also filled and crowded. In general, for its price of about 15 thousand rubles. It's not really cool...

I liked the building itself. In my opinion, the fountain show is more interesting in Sochi Park and longer. Here it lasts 4 minutes, not in color, after the fountain show at the beginning of the hour (at about 15 minutes) the installation on the Burj Khalifa. Unlike the fountain show, they did not repeat themselves. They were different. There are just a lot of people. Especially on the bridge, but the lake is big. We looked at 18 o'clock with a view of the Burj Khalifa, and at 18.30 in the opposite direction.

It takes your breath away from the view! We went up with my husband to the observation deck on the 124th and 125th floors at sunset, it was something with something! I couldn't believe that we were in the tallest building in the world, and even that thought makes me feel elated. The views are beautiful, we were at sunset and could see how the city turns on its lights. When you're in Dubai, you should definitely buy tickets there, it's definitely worth it.

Mega place. We had a vacation in Dubai. Fountains, music, everything is so well chosen. The tour and photo exhibition of the creation history are fascinating. Great guys. Technically, everything is very well organized. The "space elevator" to the top is just fire. Three hundred floors in a few minutes without overloading for passengers. The photo shoot, and the photos are recorded on their branded USB stick, is a great idea. And most importantly, without seams, without fuss. I highly recommend climbing.

It is impossible to really fully prepare in advance for this spectacle... Upon arrival in Dubai, the world-famous Burj Khalifa can be seen from everywhere, but its power, this miracle of engineering, plunges into a stupor when you get close to it ... From the top of the skyscraper, as expected, a magical view opens. The only thing is, it's still wiser to go up to the observation deck at night to see the epic illumination of the city.

The queues are unrealistic. The skyscraper itself is dilapidated, and on the lower platform, according to a silver ticket, there is a hubbub like in a bazaar. Don't skimp and get a golden ticket, you won't regret it - save up to 3 hours of standing in line.

Stand in line for 5 hours with pre-paid tickets to see the "lights of the big city" through dirty glass if you want - go! After reading reviews about long queues, I purchased tickets in advance, and the instructions from the ticket company gave clear instructions on where to go and when. It was written in Russian, "come 20 minutes before the start to print out the tickets," after walking through the Dubai Mall, they saw that the queue was huge, and arriving in 20 minutes they obviously could not make it, they decided to print out the tickets in advance and continue walking until the appointed time. As a result, it turned out that there was no need to print the tickets, but we found out about it after we had defended a decent amount of time, as a result, we were already standing in line at the entrance... stuffiness, jostling, fellow Indians and other representatives of various nationalities shouting around, not differing in the culture of behavior ... the organization was in no way what struck the most. During the waiting process, there was a lot of time for reflection, for example, about safety in such conditions. In case of fire, for example?! How can you safely leave buildings with so many people? Question… When we got up to our destination 5 hours later, to say that we were disappointed is an understatement ... yes, it's high, yes everything is glowing, but even photos don't get high-quality through dirty windows. Wasted a lot of money and wasted time... on the very first day of vacation and such a disappointment…

The view is simply amazing! You feel incredible emotions when you see such beauty. It's really big, interesting and very exciting. You should definitely visit the tallest building in the world. The elevator there is simply phenomenal – the fastest, it takes you to the 124th floor in just a minute. One minor inconvenience was that it took more than 20 minutes to wait for the elevator to descend. But it's worth it! I especially recommend visiting at sunset – it's an unforgettable sight. It is possible to climb to different levels: 125th, 148th or 154th floor. We were also lucky to get tickets to the aquarium in Dubai Mall as a gift!

It's a very impressive building from the outside, with beautiful lighting in the evening. As for visiting the 125th floor with a ticket, it's not worth the money. Moreover, a quick pass is not worth the money, the view is interesting, but this attraction does not cost more than 500 rubles. There was a huge queue, we stood for exactly 3 hours on a weekday, arriving at 11.30 am. Most of the queue is hidden from view, so it's really difficult to assess it. Tickets seem to have a finite value for a certain day and time, but in reality it seems that they don't, the desire to make money from the owners of this attraction has won, so a huge number of tickets will be sold for your time and day, which is why you will just stand in line more than look at the panorama. I strongly do not recommend it with children of any age, it will be difficult for them. It would be possible to divide the rating, I would give the exterior of the tower 5, the panorama from the 125th floor and the organization 1 point.

It's worth visiting at least once - definitely. Take photos, videos, meet the sunset.    It is worth visiting Burj Khalifa for the following reasons: Scale and records. The tallest building in the world stands at 828 meters, which is equal to three Eiffel Towers. It has the largest number of floors and the tallest elevators. Versatility. Burj Khalifa has restaurants, shops, retail halls, office space, gyms, private apartments and hotels. Stunning view. The main goal of most tourists is to visit the observation deck At The Top Sky at an altitude of 555 meters above the ground. The view from here is stunning — the whole city is at a glance. A place for filming movies. Burj Khalifa has been seen several times in the frames of famous blockbusters. The most famous include "Independence Day: Rebirth" and "Mission Impossible".      Interesting:  Initially, they wanted to name the building after the emirate where it stands — Burj Dubai. However, soon the authors of the project changed their minds and added the name of the ruler of the UAE, Khalifa ibn Zayed al Nahyan. The name can be translated into Russian as "the king's tower".   Burj Khalifa holds a number of official Guinness World records: it houses the longest elevator in the world, it is the tallest building and the tallest man-made structure that has ever been built.   The building has 163 floors. It has 900 individual apartments.   The Burj Khalifa is built on the principle of a pyramid, but with asymmetrical steps. They unload the weight of the structure, cutting through the wind currents.   There is no sewer system in the skyscraper. It turned out to be ineffective. Therefore, trucks arrive at the building every day, which take out the whole thing.   If you look at the Burj Khalifa from above, its shape resembles a tropical flower - hymenocallis (also called spider lily). It symbolizes the heart of the desert.   I recommend:   Buy tickets online and in advance. It's cheaper and more reliable this way. You can use online services. Come by sunset. The most spectacular shots are guaranteed. Plan your time based on the queue. Choose weekdays to visit. There are more people on Friday and Saturday. Arrive in advance, taking into account the time for navigation. Dubai Mall is big. Download the Dubai Mall navigator. It's easier not to get lost in the mall with him. In winter, grab a sweater. The outdoor terrace of the observation deck is cool in the evenings.    p.s. in general, the orcasion is recommended) Take a VIP - No queues, no time limit.))

Visiting Burj Khalifa left me with an unforgettable experience. Already on the approach to the building, its grandeur and scale are felt. The interior of the building is striking in its modern design and high technology. The observation deck on the 124th floor offers spectacular views of the entire Dubai and the Persian Gulf. The view is simply incredible, especially at night, when the city sparkles with thousands of lights. In addition, I liked the interactive exposition telling about the history of the creation of this masterpiece of architecture. It is definitely worth visiting this exhibition to learn more about the construction process and the technical details of the project. Overall, visiting Burj Khalifa is a unique experience that cannot be missed when traveling to Dubai

THE MOST HONEST REVIEW of the Burj Khalifa This is definitely a majestic, monumental, luxurious building. From the outside, from any point of the Downtown attracts the eye In the evening, when the flicker turns on, it looks just great. It's worth seeing her at least once in your life. We also climbed it during the day as part of the tour. Tickets were bought in touristino Dubai so that there would be no queue for them either But attention, the manager did not warn us, and we did not think about it ourselves + the map led us directly to the Burj Khalifa Who doesn 't speak English as well as we do 😂 The entrance to the podium is through the Dubai Mall, on the ground floor Because we didn't know it, we were almost too late. The climb itself turned out to be a one-time experience for us personally Naturally, crowds of people still want to be photographed. I wouldn't go again. It looks much better on the outside than on the inside. 😀 By the way, the more you walk around downtown Moreover, you will find locations for photos;)

Grandiose!!! Magnificent!!! Impressive! This is how the Burj Khalifa can be described! The Dubai fountains are right in front of it. A light appears on the building like a fan. You can go boating in front of the tallest building in the world or sit in a cafe, but the prices there are not the most affordable, but you have to understand that you are paying for a breathtaking view! Fountain shows are held every 30 minutes in the evening. So this place is a must-visit! There is an observation deck on the 124th floor .

I've been admiring this building since the beginning of its construction! And finally I visited 125-124 floors. One floor is enclosed, the second is terraced. It's certainly an incredible experience! I'll start with the pros: 1. The view is gorgeous! I was there in the evening, the beauty is indescribable! 2. There are no queues at 19 o'clock, we walked to the elevators in 5 minutes and then because of the long corridors. We left on the second elevator 3. The elevator rides for 77 seconds Minuses: 1. They take pictures of you everywhere, give you a card and constantly ask you to print a photo. I don't know exactly how much they cost, but they're not cheap (I realized by the round eyes of the buyers))) 2. Probably the most important disadvantage. VERY DIRTY WINDOWS! well, on the 2 floors where you take tourists, the windows could be washed, so as not to spoil the impression. 3. We had dinner tickets, so we had to find staff to take us to a restaurant. How to find it. Dubai Mall is just huge!!! We arrived a day earlier to find the entrance to the Burj Khalifa. We realized that the easiest way to walk from the subway is down the street directly to the entrance or through the passage to the Mall, then go out to the fountains and walk down the street to the entrance. Because we still haven't figured out how to get through the mall (probably topographical cretinism)))) If you have an electronic ticket, you need to print it at the counter. There are 4 queues. One of them is online tickets and purchase. I.e. You will be standing to print the ticket with those who did not buy it. Since we were at the mall the day before the visit, we printed out the tickets in advance (we were lucky at that time (19.50) there was no queue at all). If possible, I'll go back in the daytime, it's very impressive!

Burj Khalifa is not just a skyscraper, but the main symbol of Dubai and the tallest in the world. Visiting its observation deck is more of an obligatory ritual than just an excursion. Reviews about him are very polar and strongly depend on expectations. Pros and Cons (Why people go) 1. Indisputable status and record: The feeling that you are at the top of the tallest building in the world. It's a unique experience and a tick in the list of life achievements. 2. Phenomenal view from above: In clear weather (especially in winter), a breathtaking 360° panorama opens up. You can see the whole of Dubai, the ocean, the desert and other emirates in the distance. The sunset view is considered the most beautiful: the city begins to glow with millions of lights. The photos are amazing. 3. High-speed elevators: The ascent to the 124-125 floors takes less than a minute. Elevators are equipped with screens showing a rapid "flight" upward. This is an attraction in itself. 4. Good organization (off-peak): When pre-purchasing tickets online and visiting during off-peak hours, the entry and ascent process is fast and organized. 5. At the Top zone: A modern, stylishly decorated playground with interactive screens telling the story of construction. There are telescopes with augmented reality. Cons and frustrations (What they complain about most often) 1. Very high prices: This is the main disadvantage. The ticket price is extremely high (especially for levels 148 "At the Top SKY" or 152-154). Many people think that the impression doesn't match the price. The fee is for the status, not for the volume of services. 2. Huge crowds and queues: Even with pre-purchased tickets at peak times (sunset, evening), you can queue for entry, security, elevator. It can be crowded on the site itself, and it's difficult to approach the photo window. The feeling of a "conveyor belt". 3. Dependence on weather and smog: During the hot months (especially in summer), Dubai is often shrouded in haze (smog, sand). Visibility can be very poor, and instead of a clear panorama, you will see a milky-white haze. It's not worth taking risks at a time like this. 4. Time constraints: Tickets are often sold with a time limit. At the top, you can feel a little tied down, especially if the queue for the descent is also large. 5. The "artificiality" of the experience: Some say that this is an overly commercialized attraction. You go up to a closed room with glass (which may not be perfectly clean), and not to an open area. There is no feeling of wind and no real height. 6. There are alternatives with a better view of the tower itself: To see the Burj Khalifa in all its glory, the best views are from the outside: from fountains, from Burj Park or from the window of a restaurant/bar in neighboring buildings (for example, SushiSamba). Tips for visiting (how to get the most) 1. Book tickets ONLY online in advance on the official website. It's cheaper and guarantees entry time. 2. Choose your time wisely: · Best time: 1-1.5 hours before sunset. You will see the city in daylight, capture the magical sunset and night illumination. · The quietest time: In the morning (immediately after opening). There are fewer people. · Avoid: Evenings (after 17:00), weekends and holidays — it will be crowded. 3. Keep an eye on the weather: Check the forecast. Ideally, a clear day after rain or in the cool season (November-March). 4. Don't overpay for the upper levels (148, 152+): For most people, 124/125 ("At the Top") is enough. The view is almost the same. Higher levels offer a little more comfort (fewer people, drinks), but the price difference is huge, and you won't get a fundamentally new look. 5. Dress comfortably: No heels, you will stand a lot. 6. Combine with fountains: Plan the descent so that you can watch the singing fountain show outside (every 30 minutes in the evening). The view of the fountains from above, by the way, is not the most impressive. The final verdict Visiting the Burj Khalifa is an acquisition of a unique status experience, not the most beautiful panorama in life. Who should go: First-timers in Dubai, those for whom the fact "I was at the top of the tallest building" is important, lovers of panoramic views who are ready to put up with the crowd and the price. Who can skip it:Budget travelers; those who have already been on high observation decks in other cities; people who can not stand the queue; those who visit Dubai in the summer haze. An alternative to the tower view: Go to the Dubai Fountain Show (for free) and appreciate the tower in its full fiery and musical beauty from below. It's often even more impressive. Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐1000000 (4 out of 5). One star is removed for high commercialization, prices and queues. But the fact itself and the view, especially in ideal conditions, are undoubtedly a strong impression. You need to go, but only with the right preparation and expectations.

The tower is beautiful and it glows unusually, but it's not worth going up to the observation deck - it's just a waste of time and money. After a long queue (on average, 1.5 hours on my feet, there are no benches either at the bottom or at the top) You will be lifted to a platform with a height of only 450 meters (122 floor), if you want to go higher, you need to pay extra. For comparison, the height of the observation deck in the Moscow City tower is 330 meters. There is a view of the city, the sea and the desert from above, and nearby hotels have rooftop restaurants where you can see almost the same thing, but for free. A lot of people might want to choose earlier hours. After that, you need to wait in line to go down. Half a day is lost, but there are no special impressions, rather, fatigue from standing for a long time.

If you ask people who have not visited Dubai for the first time, the Burj Khalifa will definitely be in the Top 3. Inspired by everyone's enthusiasm, we set off. We specially chose the day and time when there are few people (Tuesday, 11 a.m.). And we still stood in line for more than an hour. There's a queue for security, a queue in front of the elevator, and even a queue for going down. And somehow there wasn't the WOW effect that was expected at the top. The view is interesting, but the crowds make it difficult to concentrate. In general, I liked the bottom of the Burj Khalifa more than the inside.

From the outside, the tower seems to be made of light and glass: its rushing silhouette, resembling a stalagmite, shimmers in the sun with golden and silver reflections, and at night it turns into a giant canvas for light shows, where lasers and lights dance. Inside, everything breathes luxury: marble floors, high arches with Arabic ornaments, mirrored elevators that transport you to the 124th floor in 60 seconds. And there... Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a heart-stopping panorama: Dubai sprawls like a miniature lego city, with endless desert sands on the horizon, the turquoise Persian Gulf, and tiny cars crawling along the highway. On the 148th floor, at an altitude of 555 meters, it feels like you're floating above the clouds. After the views, it's time for gastronomic delight! On the observation deck, you should try the signature cappuccino with gold: the barristers draw a miniature silhouette of the Burj Khalifa on the foam, and place an edible 24-carat gold plate on top. It's like drinking from a cup decorated with jewelry! And to refresh yourself, order a fresh watermelon — sweet, juicy, with ice cubes, it perfectly complements the panorama outside the window. This experience is like a flight into the future, where the beauty of architecture, technology and taste merge together. The Burj Khalifa doesn't just break altitude records — it gives you the feeling that you've touched something grand. 🌟

Entrance via Dubai pier 1st floor (details on the navigation board at the entrance to the pier, there is Russian in the menu). There are excursions to different levels, the higher the more expensive). Ticket sellers do not speak Russian. The staff at the upper levels is partially Russian-speaking. The tour itself and the briefing are in English.

It was January 08. The ticket was taken through a travel agent ... it turned out to be 10% cheaper than on the official website. Due to traffic jams, they arrived 10 minutes late, but they let us in without any problems. The entire queue to the elevator takes about 20 minutes. While you're standing, you can read about the tower and watch videos on the screens. The elevator is generally super: the speed is not felt. It is comfortable on the site itself: there is indoors, there is outdoors. There are a lot of people, but if you wait a little bit, you can choose any place near the window for a photo. We took the most classic option: 124/125 floors. You can see everything is fine. I recommend choosing the time to get there half an hour before sunset... then you can see day Dubai, night and sunset itself. The souvenir shop is excellent, the selection is huge.

The building is impressive. The symbol of Dubai, and probably of all the Emirates. The architectural embodiment of the hymenocallis flower (a kind of lily). The building impresses with its grandeur from the outside, and from a height of 125 floors (where you can go by buying a ticket) There is a magnificent view of Dubai and the surrounding area. Tickets can be purchased for 124 + 125 floors or with a visit to the 148th (this is about 2 times more expensive). I wasn't on the 148th, the view from there is about the same, but it seems that there is also some kind of lounge or something. There are souvenir shops and small cafes on 124 and 125. Very beautiful!

The Burj Khalifa is not just a building, it is a structure that impresses with its scale. There is a beautiful view of the city from here. In addition, to visit this place, you do not need to stand in long queues — the ticket is inexpensive, and sightseeing tours allow you to see everything at once.

This is a majestic building, a fully screened surface with musical accompaniment of a video series and a fountain dancing of delights. Goosebumps are guaranteed for anyone who can get close to Burda Khalifa for the first time, and I personally had impressions even in my dreams) The scale is so grandiose that it's hard to even keep your head up for a long time, let alone think about how it's even possible to create such a thing in reality. Thanks to the energy boost from this location, I'm sure I'll come back here more than once!

I managed to visit it a few times. We took tickets in the morning for one year, but then I worried that we wouldn't see anything because of the morning fog) but no, it's very beautiful and breathtaking. The second time was taken for an evening review. Amazing, the evening is even more beautiful from the illumination, dancing phantoms! I recommend you to visit!

The Burj Khalifa itself is very beautiful from the outside, but inside there is a giant queue in which we stood for more than an hour. At the top, you could look from the 120th floor there is a beautiful view, and at the top, further down the stairs, there is another observation post with binoculars from which you could see what Dubai was like before, both at night and in the clear sun, and when We went downstairs, there was also a long queue, but everything is fine.

The Burj Khalifa is not just a building, but a true symbol of Dubai and the entire modern world. Its grandeur and scale are amazing! The view from the observation deck "At the Top" is simply breathtaking! The panorama of the city, desert and ocean from a height of 555 meters is an unforgettable sight. It is especially beautiful at sunset. High—speed elevators - take you up in a matter of seconds, while being completely invisible. The design and service are top—notch: everything is thought out to the smallest detail, the staff are polite, and there is a lot of interesting information about the history of construction. Night lighting — the building looks fantastic, especially during light shows and celebrations. Bottom line: A must-visit if you're in Dubai! This is not just an attraction, but a grandiose experience that will remain in the memory for a lifetime.

The building is impressive in size. Sooo high. The queues of those who want to get up are also amazing. In total, we spent more than 3 (three) hours in queues to get to the 125th floor. And about an hour to get down.
