We had a great view from Burj Khalifa. But there was no guide telling anything about it. But worse than that was the fact that the pictures through the glass had all reflections. Even the pictures on the terrace had to be made through glass instead of a fence or similar. Still it was a big experience. The Dubai Aquarium was top experience! Many animals were to be seen. Most of them looked like in a relatively natural habitat. The surroundings were also beautifully made and the employees were helpful and explained several things. At the end we could walk in front of the biggest Aquarium front with hundreds if not thousands of fishes and then even through a glass tunnel. All in all the best in Dubai.

A desert Safari is a must do experience if you visit Dubai. What made this even better for us was it driver Najam. My father has issues with mobility and Najam noticed this and was immediately very considerate and ensured his comfort throughout. He made sure my dad sat in the front passenger seat , advised us to reseve our preferable before most of the other guests arrived before we won't on with other activities. Also made sure that during the Safari, my aunt (who is also elderly) was seated in the 2nd passenger row and not the 3rd as that is where you get thrown around a lot and is suited for fitter individuals . All in all, we have a seamless experience back and forth , thanks to Najam :)

We had an extraordinary experience. Najam was our guide and driver, a very kind person, who proved to be a real support for the trip. He introduced us to the desert, drove perfectly for our adrenaline, guided and supported us in the camps. Thanks to him, I also drove a buggy through the desert dunes and it was one of the most interesting experiences of my family, who accompanied me on the route. The program was identical to the one presented in the offer, recommending that in the camp where you have lunch, you opt for VIP, paying an additional fee of about 50AED. And, if you have Najam as your driver, you are lucky, having a trip of a story

    I liked how the visit was scheduled so that there was crowd control. Morning time is definitely better. The videos and information on the walls were historically and culturally very informative and interesting. The staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgable. The view was awesome and the elevator ride truly amazing. My friend and I were part of innovation and inspiration on this monumental structure.

    As stated we were picked up and dropped at our place. The car was decent, and it was shared tour. We experienced dune bashing, camel ride and the day ended with the shows and food in the desert camp. Over all experience was great, Mr Najam was professional and ensured we got good experience. His driving skills are neat too. Food was average.

    The visit to the Burj Khalifa was impressive. Even the elevator ride is exciting. The weather was good and the view was excellent. We had tickets for 9:00 am and that was the right decision - no waiting time. Afterwards we visited the Dubai Aquarium (combined ticket). Sharks and rays close enough to touch. 😉
  • Burj Khalifa

    With these Burj Khalifa tickets, you will be able to skip the long ticket queue and head straight to the elevator that will zip you to the 124th & 125th floor where amazing vistas of Dubai await you. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls provide an amazing panoramic view of the city, desert, and ocean from a height of 452 meters! Step out onto an open-air terrace to take in the unparalleled sights of the city and beyond. You can stay here and enjoy the views for as long as you like.

    Dubai Aquarium

    At Dubai Aquarium, you will come face to face with an incredible collection of aquatic life that consists of over 140 species including 300 sharks, rays, and the largest collection of Sand Tiger sharks in the world. You can also experience other biomes such as the Rainforest, Rocky Shore, and Living Ocean environments at the Underwater Zoo. You’ll come across dangerous piranhas, the giant catfish, playful otters, a Humbolt penguin colony, and more.

    Evening Desert Safari

    After your breathtaking experience at the Aquarium and underwater zoo, you will be picked up the next day from your residence in a 4x4 and driven straight past the dominating buildings leaving the city behind into the heart of the Awir desert.

    Once you arrive at the desert, your driver will take you over the dunes for an adventurous 4x4 experience. You can also give sandboarding a try too. After your drive, you will be taken to a traditional Bedouin camp where activities such as camel riding and henna painting await you.

    As the experience goes on, you will be entertained by traditional Tanoura dance and fire shows, 2 different forms of belly dancing, and a horse show. You can also dress up in traditional Arabic dresses that make for perfect photo opportunities.

    End your day with a delectable buffet that you can pair with unlimited soft drinks, water, tea, and coffee. With a wide array of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes to choose from, your buffet will perfectly cap the evening. Finally, you'll be dropped off back at your accommodation.
