It takes just 1 minute to reach the top at 124 floors which is amazing. Don't forget to take your snaps from the photshop. it is worth it, though a bit expensive. Pls book tickets in advance by internet. It saves a lot of time.

Just amazing. Travel in the time capsule super fast, in very short time i have been on the 124 level above the ground. Fast, fast, fast! You can view the Dubai city from the top. You have to book your pass in very advance time, or otherwise you will never get to the top. All time is always fully book.... More

After getting off the Metro we walked to the Burj Kalifa and went tot the wrong side then we were rushing to make our appointed time because you have to enter through the mall. Once in the mall it was confusing to find the location. But finally found it we were a little late but the people were very nice... More

An amazing experience, going up all the way and looking at Dubai from that height. What an architectural masterpiece.

It is once in a lifetime experience. The view is fantastic and the feeling is almost scary! When you get to the top *(124th floor) you realise that if you drop your camera there it will probably vaporize before reaching the ground. The open windows that you will find there make you feel that you are hanging on a cloud.... More
