Visiting the Burj Khalifa was one of the main reasons I went to Dubai and of course the view is great. However, something to consider when going: be prepared for long waiting queues at the elevators. I had a ticket for 4pm, but it took me over 45 minutes to get to the viewing area on the 125th floor. It also took almost 40 minutes to get down again.
Buy ticket online but don't bother to get the ticket for the aquarium as you can see as much for free from the Mall. Expensive when compared to what you get elsewhere for similar things.
Price to go to the top was very high. Over 500 Dirham
ITS NOT MUCH FUN UP THERE, AND 7PM SLOT WAS CRAZY BUSY, SO RE-THINK, BIT BORING, FASTEST ELEVATOR GOING UP LIKE A PLANE. GOOD TO LOOK AT FROM OUTSIDE
Don't buy the photos they take of you we were offered 6 photographs for 1500 Dirham!! Astronomical. I want to add the Burj Khalifa experience though was amazing.
Went to pay at 1.30p.m for 124/125th floor viewing and told it was all fully booked! Tried to upsell us higher floors at much higher prices. However on their official website there was availability all day (we couldnt book at that time as we would have needed ID which we had left in the hotel for safekeeping!). Went on "chat" function on the web and was advised there were different slots allocated for online bookings. As it was a weekday and the mall was not busy, and the website had lots of availability surely it would have been better to allocate more slots for on the door sales? Was not impressed and didnt go up there. They therefore lost out on 2 sales (and maybe several more)
