Once in a lifetime experience and highly recommend. Didn't have to queue, as others have mentioned. 6 - 6.30 pm admission is ideal time to "prepare" for sunset. Surprised that the number of permitted visitors was quite low, which allowed room to comfortably walk around the 2 floors. Doubtful that paying extra to visit higher levels would make any difference to the experience.

The fastest roller coaster in the world was great and also some other roller coasters. Not quite clear was where the shuttle leaves each, both outbound and return. Also, it would be good to be able to reserve a place in the shuttle, otherwise it can happen that you do not come at all and then you stand in Dubai and have to take a cab. We have therefore taken a rental car.

I recently used the Headout app to book tickets for a few experiences, and I wanted to share my positive experience. From browsing to booking, the entire process was smooth and user-friendly. The app had a great selection of activities and attractions, and I appreciated the detailed descriptions and reviews which helped me make informed decisions. The booking process was quick and easy, and I loved having my tickets readily available on my phone. Overall, Headout made planning my activities a breeze, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a convenient and reliable way to book tickets for tours and experiences. Five stars from me!

The place is beautiful, but I would recommend visiting during a different season than summer. The heat can be quite intense, making it less enjoyable to explore. Spring or fall would be perfect for experiencing the scenery without the sweltering temperatures!
