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.
It was a wonderful experience. The sunrise and views from the 124th and 125th were amazing. Not a lot of people that early in the morning and zero wait time for the elevator. Coffee shop and gift shops were well stocked with something for every appetite. It was a good experience. One thing that would be helpful is to have a little better directions for people that are walking from surrounding hotels, but we were able to find some friendly staff that let us into the mall after showing them our already booked tickets. They pointed us in the right direction.

The sea at the entrance to the Louvre is a Tiffany blue. It wasn't crowded, much less crowded than other domestic attractions, and the experience was wonderful. There was an African exhibition during my visit, and there were quite a lot of things.
The Presidential Palace itself is so luxurious. The sunset upon exiting was breathtaking, with the blues constantly wafting in the wind. Watching the night light show made life feel worthwhile.
A museum worth visiting. If you bring a child, you can bring in a small bottle of milk powder to feed the child. Other than the baby's bottle, you can't bring in any other water. I like the museum design very much. The exhibits are very unique, with works from several different countries on one theme.

Must-See Highlights: More Than Just Luxury
1. Golden Quote Sculpture: The most impressive feature of the palace is the golden sculpture, carved with Arabic script. It cites a famous quote from Sheikh Zayed, the founding father of the UAE: "Wealth is not money or oil; wealth lies in the people. Nothing is worthwhile if it is not dedicated to serving the people." This quote perfectly captures the philosophy behind the UAE's prosperity.
2. Parliament Hall: The Parliament Hall, adorned with 350,000 pieces of gold leaf, is breathtaking. This is where the UAE's top leaders meet, allowing visitors to experience the solemn atmosphere of national governance up close.
3. "Golden Bird's Nest": This must-photograph and Instagram-worthy spot, resembling a bird's nest, symbolizes the UAE's vibrant vitality.
4. Hall of Knowledge: This hall showcases the Arab world's contributions to science, literature, astronomy, and other fields, allowing us to appreciate the tremendous impact of Arab civilization on human knowledge.
I learned about Arab culture and felt the atmosphere. As a Chinese, I gained a deeper understanding of the strengths of my own country's culture.

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.
Great hight, views and location in a shopping mall ish ... All staff friendly. One tour guide kept yelling via his speaker system and I couldn't hear the original explanation on the attraction tannoy, very irritating, I complained to staff about it.

Ferrari World is probably the best thing about Abu Dhabi. Catch a bus from the city, get there earlier as sometimes they might close earlier than scheduled. Take your pics and start adrenaline journey. The rides are amazing. The Mission Ferrari is a cool surprise, as it has unexpected turns and jumps. The Rosa was closed, but it didn't spoil the experience. Even if you are scared of speed and heights, my advice is: Just Do It! Here is my suggestion on how to ease into it (without Rosa): Rosa Junior, Turbo TrackFlying AcesMission FerrariGT challange. You will enjoy it. Do one park at a time on Yas Island because Qs are long. Don't fear, just enjoy the rides!!!!!
Ferrari World is a lot of fun.
Enjoyment: Surprisingly, there are quite a few attractions for children under 110cm tall.
The park also has a small playground where children can climb freely, which keeps them entertained for hours.
Temperature: Although the park is located on the second floor of Yas Mall, the space is naturally light-filled, so it's quite warm inside. Even wearing summer clothes won't be a problem; you won't feel cold.
It's much warmer than Warner Bros. and SeaWorld, haha.
Convenience: There's a direct shuttle bus from Yas Island to Ferrari World.
Dubai also has a direct shuttle bus to Ferrari World, both of which are super convenient.
Note: You can bring food and water into the park. This is very user-friendly.
However, I'm not sure what their criteria are; each park on Yas Island has different rules. If you find something that's not allowed, you can either throw it away or check it in.
I tried bread, snacks, and plastic bottles of water, and they were all allowed.

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.
Amazing place, best to go when is dark is. Dubai by lights is amazing

Probably more fun than I expected. The crowds are lower in the morning and on weekdays. We almost didn't have time to ride everything because there is a lot to do. The performances are not Disney level, but they are interesting. You can see the design and technology here, it's pretty impressive. They just need a bigger coaster, but it's decent for families.
One of the three Warner Bros. theme parks in the world.
Enjoyment: There are quite a few attractions suitable for children under 110cm tall.
You can ride the roller coaster, but the park itself is quite small. You won't be able to stay there for very long. It feels like the smallest of the parks on Yas Island.
The Batman and Joker areas are dark and scary, and there are height requirements, making them more suitable for adults. Children might find them scary.
Temperature: The coldest of the parks on Yas Island. Be sure to bring a jacket and a heat pack; it can get really cold after a long stay.
Convenience: There are direct shuttle buses from Yas Island to the parks. Dubai also has direct shuttle buses to the parks, which are both very convenient.
Note: You can bring food and water into the parks. This is very user-friendly.
However, I'm not sure what their criteria are; each park on Yas Island has different standards. If you find something that isn't allowed, you can either throw it away or check it in.

This place is absolutely photogenic! 📸
✅ Check-in Guide: Go down to the basement level and turn left to find the Food Court. Replenish your energy with food and drinks after shopping! After eating, walk straight to the self-service machine and scan the QR code with your phone for registration. It's completely free! You also need to scan this code to enter, so don't lose it!
⚠️ Important Notes: The Grand Mosque is solemn and majestic, perfect for taking photos.
Whether you're a couple or a pair, absolutely no physical contact is allowed when taking photos.
This is out of respect for religious beliefs 🙏 Individual photos should also be taken without making gestures or pointing at others/buildings. Quietly taking photos is already breathtaking!
You can experience the authentic Grand Mosque atmosphere here.
Wear a long skirt/trousers, and every shot will be a masterpiece of atmospheric beauty. Go for it!
Note:
Men's attire: Short-sleeved shirts and long pants; no abaya or veil required.
Women's attire: Abaya or veil is required. Sleeves cannot be even slightly see-through. If they are even slightly see-through, you will not be allowed in. Sun protection sleeves are required. Overall, adult women are very strict.
Children's attire: Children are not required to wear short-sleeved shirts, shorts, or skirts.
Reservations: Book a time in advance on the official website. The regulations are quite relaxed, so missing your reservation is not a problem at all.
We went during National Day in October, and it was incredibly hot at night, let alone during the day.
Still, it was worth it to check in. As expected of the world's third largest mosque, the interior is magnificent and photogenic.
The downside is the heat. 🥵
PS: The mosque is connected to an underground food court, so you can enjoy some local delicacies after checking in.
