Burj Khalifa

#dubaitrip Visiting the Burj Khalifa is truly a bucket-list experience!🏙 As the world’s tallest building, it offers a mesmerizing view that is nothing short of breathtaking. We visited during the New Year holidays, which meant it was incredibly crowded. We had booked our tickets online for 5 PM to enjoy both the day and night views. However, the process of getting to the top was quite challenging. We started standing in the queue at 3 PM and only reached the top by 6:30 PM due to the overwhelming crowds. This was definitely the most frustrating part, especially since we paid for peak-hour tickets but ended up reaching after 7 PM, technically non-peak hours. That said, the view from the 153rd floor made the long wait worth it. The stunning panorama of Dubai, with its skyline lit up at night, was unforgettable. You can take your time at the top as there’s no rush to leave, which is a big plus. One of the highlights was watching the water fountain show from the 153rd floor—it’s a magical experience that shouldn’t be missed. Overall, while the crowds and waiting times during peak season can be a hassle, the Burj Khalifa is a must-visit for its unparalleled views and iconic status. Just plan your visit wisely and prepare for some patience if you're visiting during the holidays!
