Buying the ticket on the app was good but the pick up for the ticket was stressful. No one knew where we had to go and when we went to at the top where it said on the instructions no one at the desk knew and said it was only for burj khalifa. When we finally got the tickets from a different desk and got to the boat we cud of just bought tickets there

My wife booked the tickets for a boat ride at Dubai Mall through this platform and the experience was simply amazing. It was super easy to book the tickets and the staff members at the facility were also very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this platform for booking purposes

I loved the boat ride it self. It was really nice. But it was difficult to find out where the boat ride is located, since the email with ticket said to go to the "at the top" entrance. But that's not the case at all. So it was really confusing to find the right place.
