What people say

"The tallest building in the world needs no introduction. I haven't been to the top myself because of my fear of elevators. However I can say that I have always been told that it is much better value to go to the Atmosphere Lounge on the 122nd floor, than the viewing point at the top. You have more time, and as everyone is seated you get a real chance of taking in the view. However I've been warned that the restaurant is not worth the prices, so make sure you are booking at the lounge. Another great option is to book the Sunrise + Morning Treat package on the weekend, which is only 159aed (cheaper than general admission), for some of the most stunning views of the city. "
"Start off with Breakfast at Atmosphere, the Lounge, with a minimum spend of 100 AED for 2 people this works out to cheaper than going to the viewing desk, and since they start at 7 a.m. it is aptly called Breakfast in the clouds ! Although Dubai usually experiences clear skies which means you will get clear bird's eye view of the city. Note - You can skip the gold coffee unless you're feeling really fancy but DO NOT MISS a visit to the washroom - thank me later!"
"Visit Burj Khalifa and Dubai Acquarium inside the Dubai Mall: these are things you should do on the same day for two reasons; first they are one next to each other and second, most times, tickets are sold together in a bundle (go check out the website above “Get your guide”). Stop at Ce La Vì if you have time and take a picture on the flowery swing."
