The Burj Khalifa is amazing and well worth the entry fee..note its cheaper to book the tickets online rather than buy them at the entry gate. Dubai is hot and sandy...not a lot like the postcards and travel shows you see. The shopping centres are amazing and there are lots of them. The metro is a convenient way to travel and safe too. Other than that you will find a cabbie willing to take you to where you want to go. Be prepared though if they know you are a tourist they may be likely to take you the long way. A great way to see Dubai is on the RED BUS..there is hop on hop off destinations all over Dubai and also well worth the money...Enjoy!

S, I didn't go in it but just to look at it from the outside is a wonder to behold, where I can only imagine the view from the top you can really appreciate the building's size as you take off from Dubai International Airport as you rise up to its height and consider how long that would take using the stairs!

Make sure to get this overview of the city from the 124th story at sunset. Together with the ambient light and the beautifully orchestrated fountain shows below it's worth the bucks...

To go up and see the burj khalifa is an experience, its in the center of Dubai and can be seen from anywhere especially at night. Its a must see for couples and families

Interesting place to visit and see how a political wish can transform in less than two decades an economy based on oil in an economy based on tourism and services!
