The world's tallest building is a phenomenal feat of engineering and home to luxurious apartments, offices and a top-class hotel.

The Burj Khalifa stands at a staggering height of 829.8 metres and took 6 years to complete. 22 million man-hours eventually went into the construction of the modern architectural marvel.

Located in downtown Dubai, this stunning centrepiece is a must-see landmark of Dubai's urban landscape. Begin your journey by purchasing a ticket for the At the Top Experience. The tour begins in the reception area, where a moving walkway brings you to the base of the tower. Historical and cultural information about Dubai is projected onto the walls to keep you entertained along the way.

Another engineering marvel awaits as a high-speed elevator whips you up to the observation deck on the 124th floor in less than 60 seconds, travelling at an astonishing 10 metres per second. The elevator doors open to reveal floor-to-ceiling windows providing a magnificent unobstructed view of the city, the desert and the Persian Gulf. Why not step outside onto the outdoor terrace for an even more thrilling experience?

If you're feeling peckish, indulge in some fine dining with a visit to At.mosphere, the Burj Khalifa's decadent restaurant and lounge. Catering for every whim for lunch, dinner and even afternoon tea, you will definitely need to make a reservation. (Check the restaurant's website for details.)

As you leave the Burj Khalifa, you can explore the 11-hectare landscaped surrounding park with its forest grove, lake-edge promenade, water features and children's play area.

The Burj Khalifa skyscraper is located in the downtown Burj area of Dubai. It is situated adjacent to Dubai Mall, which has more than 14,000 available parking spaces, however it is also accessible by metro and bus.

The At the Top Experience is open every day and tickets can be purchased at the office, accessible via the Lower Ground level of Dubai Mall. If you'd like to skip the queues, book your ticket in advance or pay extra for an Immediate Entry Admission. The observation deck is also wheelchair accessible.

In our bathroom inside of our suite, we noticed some paint was peeling off from the baseboard trim, and there was definitely a need for touchups and some minor construction renovation. The breakfast was mediocre, overall I would rate this hotel as a four-star hotel and not a five star hotel. Quite frankly, I’ve stayed at better four starred hotels than this one. There’s also insufficient parking space for people staying at the hotel when there are major events happening, such as weddings.

Lovely hotel. Clean and tidy. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was big and cleaned regularly. Bed was massive and comfy. Balcony is on small side and the sea view is full of construction sites, which when built there will be no sea view. Hotel is on the palm but if you want to get off the palm it has to be via a vehicle, which meant taxi each time wanted to go site seeing or to look about Dubai (they do offer shuttle bus service, but this gets full quick) The pool and sunbed area is spacious and the beach well located at the back of the hotel where they offer beach towels each day.

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.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

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.

4/5 - Good

Price to go to the top was very high. Over 500 Dirham

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.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

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)
