Long queues up… long queues down…all very disorganised… it’s packed at the top and not worth the money… avoid and save yourself a fortune.
Lots of waiting without effective communication on why or how long you’ll be waiting. This was the same for both going up and down. It took 2 hours to go up and 45 minutes to get back down, where you ended up queuing just to join another queue. The views were nice, but not worth the money, or the time you could be spending exploring other areas - such a shame.
Breathtaking views, amazing architecture, and unforgettable experience at the top of Burj Khalifa...............

You buy a ticket that tells you to be there 15 minutes early, or either face your ticket being cancelled. It seems rather serious, but it's far from that. For us, it was a normal Wednesday at 11 AM. The reality is that we spent an hour in line before validating our tickets. Then, another hour in line winding through corridors in the building's basement. Corridor, line, corridor, line. We spent 2 hours just to arrive to the elevator. The only way to visit without wasting time is to go very early (very early) or buy a VIP ticket. That's the best tip I can give. The views are interesting, but not essential. There's a souvenirs shop at the top, dozen of photographers willing to take you a picture, and a miniature cafeteria. To go down, we had to wait in line for another 45 minutes. Overall, unless you go first thing in the morning (I don't think a VIP price is justified), it's an experience that can be skipped. It's far from a must-do.
The burj khalifa is my favourite building ever but this experience was so poor. We paid £120 pp for fast track entrance, we skipped all the queues which was great but we were crammed into a lift with far too many people in, it was uncomfortable and you couldn't even see the video that played in the lift because there were too many people. Once we got to the top it was just hectic, overcrowded, kids running riot, not enough seats for people to sit. The worst part was the queue for the way back down, I felt stuck, couldn't wait to get out. If you want a view and a calm experience, book a dinner or afternoon tea at Atmosphere. It's not as high as this, but the views are still amazing and it's much more relaxed. Don't waste your money on this tour.
