    The "At The Top" experience at the Burj Khalifa is an absolute must-do for any visitor to Dubai, despite the inevitable crowds.​The ascent in the world's fastest elevator is an attraction in itself—a smooth, rapid climb to the clouds.​Level 124 offers the main attraction: a spectacular outdoor observation deck. The views from 456 meters are genuinely unparalleled. Dubai transforms into a vast architectural model; you can trace the entire city's outline, from the sprawling Sheik Zayed Road to the distant marina and the deep blue of the Arabian Gulf.​Level 125 provides a spacious, quieter, indoor escape with 360-degree panoramic views. This is where you can enjoy interactive experiences, like the popular virtual reality floor simulation, and take stunning, less-windy photos.​Verdict: The ticket price is justified by the unique opportunity to stand on the world's tallest building and witness such an epic scale of urban development. It's a true travel highlight.

    The scenery is pretty good on a sunny day and there aren't many people at the moment. I don't think a speed pass is necessary. What's useful is that you can go up to the 54th floor. There is no glass blocking the 54th floor, but there is an open terrace, which is not very big. Most people can just take pictures on the 52nd floor.

    The Dubai Frame is one of those attractions that perfectly combines architecture, art, and history in a single experience. Standing 150 meters tall, it literally “frames” the city — one side shows old Dubai and the other the modern skyline, which makes it a unique and symbolic spot to visit.

    It's quite small and I walked around it in ten minutes. I happened to see the fish feeding and it was quite lively. The discounted ticket I bought on Ctrip was not expensive and it was OK. If you want to see a big one, go to Dubai Mall or the one in Abu Dhabi. This one is suitable for those staying in or near Palm Island.

    We had the VIP package and I’m glad we did because we were waited on fantastically by our host and the amount of people there was amazing, the queue for the food on the normal package was huge but the VIP package entailed that our food was served to us..The food was endless with fish, meat and all served with a fantastic evening of entertainment..We will do this experience again.

    The overall feeling was luxurious. The suite we visited cost $50,000 a night. The color was red, representing the element of fire. We stopped by for a drink (photos are not allowed in the lobby), then went upstairs to sample a red date and a cup of tea. Finally, we toured the suite. Then, with the money gone, we relaxed. We went about our business.
