There is no best time of day really so the time you go is up to you; some people like to book around 45 mins before sunset and get to see the city in daylight, as the sun sets and after dark.

In the morning you may get fog, then again you may not and in the afternoons you may get haze, then again you may not so pick a time and hopefully the sky will be clear - in's'allah !

If I was doing it I'd go for around midday but that's personal preference.

As for the hotel then if your flight lands at 7am it will be more likely 8.30- 9am when you get to your hotel as it is around 20-25 mins from the airport by taxi.

If they have a room free they will probably let you have it but you can't expect it as check out for other guests will be midday. Treat it as a bonus if you get the room earlier than normal time and they will let you use all of their facilities if you don't so they will store your luggage and you can have breakfast, go for a swim in their pool and a snooze on a sunbed - for this reason it's a good idea to pack swim things and suntan lotion at the top of your luggage then you can use their facilities to change.

I've been up twice in the morning, then last year, went up in the early afternoon. Queues going up & down were ridiculous in the afternoon, compared to the morning when I've been.

Hi latimar

Could I ask question why do u prefer mid day to visit burj Khalifa

It's because soon we be ready to book also

Un decided what time

Thanks kindly

My guess is probability of fog/haze would be minimal and better chances of a clear view all around during mid-day...

Exactly.

And I understand the sunset thing but can't quite see the attraction of after dark - when you could be anywhere in a big city with lights.

I prefer to see the view in the daylight

I have been there a few times and would definitely go for the midday to 2pm to see more. It's pretty at night and you see the fountains but you can't hear the music which is part of the experience.

thanks everyone if you require midday .what time is best to get there staying at the al murooj rotana

If you want to go at midday then your best bet is to book an on line advance ticket.

You can do this up to 30 days in advance.

From your hotel you walk across the road into Dubai Mall and then to the Burj Khalifa entrance, which is by Bloomingdales on the ground floor - aim to arrive at the entrance around 15 mins before your ticket time so should be in plenty of time if you leave your hotel 30 mins before your ticket time if you intend to go straight to Burj Khalifa and not look at anything else in the mall on your way there.
