Landmarks in Dubai

Dubai safari park visit as a winter break gift for my 2 sons of 3 and 7. We researched for a day or two and decided to book it through headout as recommended by many instead of the official Dubai safari website. Not quite sure of other booking channels, however, headout happened to be more economical than the official Dubai Safari booking site as the entry fee listed on their app is all inclusive of VAT. We booked the ticket that includes the guided safari and that was the best experience ever. A hack... you get 10 % discount on your next booking in headout. Not sure if this applies to every booking or just us as we booked it through them for the first time. The park is huge.. so, plan well to spend the entire day or atleast 5 hours.. Our journey.. 1. We reached the park at 10 AM. Took the train to the African Village. Explored African village and then boarded the train to the Explorer village. 2. The guided Safari took off from the explorer village which is close to giraffe station or we can say they are one station/village. The experience may have been different if we had book the general admission ticket. Highly recommend to book the ticket that includes the guided safari. 3. After the guided safari, it was already 12:30 pm, we headed back to Africa village as we wanted to eat lunch at Oregano.. very basic pizza and pasta.. ok for quick lunch. Reached Oregano at 1:15 pm and done with lunch at 2 pm. Please take note of the time.. moving in between takes time as we have to wait for train, then walk, enter restaurant. Order, wait, eat, walk to the train pick up point for the next stop.. 4. After lunch, we headed to the Asian Village and enjoyed the 3 pm echoes of the wild presentation, which was amazing. Sadly we missed the Birds of prey presentation as the show started at 4 and the kids were exhausted. 5. We took the Arabian Dessert safari tour from Asian village of 15 mins to head back to the kids farm which is close to the exit. The safari was enjoyable. 6. We enjoyed feeding the bird at the kids farm and exited the park at around 4:30 pm. Overall, it was a good experience, if we have to visit again, I would do the following: 1. Head straight to African village 2. Enjoy the explorer village with guided safari( not included in general adminision). 3. Have lunch at the explorer village 4. Explore Asian village 5. Know the timing of all shows and don't miss them. 6. End the experience with the kids farm. Basically, out fo all the 6 villages , what's worth enjoying were the African Village, explorer guided safari, Asian Village, Arabian dessert safari and the bird feeding in kids farm. If planned well, the journey can be shortened, nonetheless expect to dedicate 3/4 hours to enjoy the whole experience. Lastly, but not the least, all staff we interacted were all kind and helpful. Thanks a lot.

We had booked the 148th floor, which automatically included the Skylounge and therefore prioritized access. The organization was very good, but it still took about 1/2 hour to get to the top. The normal queue was extremely long and I can imagine that the waiting time there must have been over an hour. The technology and architecture were very beautiful. The view from the 148th floor was beautiful and breathtaking from this unique height. The glass balcony railings allowed an unobstructed wide view of everything near and far. One drawback on the 148th floor was that there was only one ladies' toilet and it had to be serviced accordingly. The Skylounge was a wonderful experience. Drinks served on request (the tea was a dream, drank 2 and a cappuccino decaf with oat milk) as well as super tasty pastries we enjoyed and could take a welcome break. Seats were very comfortable, but unfortunately a bit rare, especially the ones by the window were permanently occupied (I wouldn't have wanted to give them up :-D ). On the 124th floor there was a store and a café in addition to the view. We then went down again as a priority. I can only recommend the surcharge for the 148th, it was more than worth it. All in all, a visit to the world's tallest building is a must in Dubai.

The way it was constructed was great indeed and the thought of creating the man made island was so inspiring. Loved the start of the show as well

Very nice day with my family at palm view... A very nice experience with kids. They really loved the scenario. What an amazing construction... Very important the explanation and a very important message to the humankind... "God wills it, man dreams it, the work is born."

You absolutely have to be there by 10 a.m. Then it is a wonderful experience. Later you have to queue for up to 2 hours.

The view was beautiful and it was a accelerating experience and I think that everyone should experience it at least once in their life.

Mega view from the top. But long waiting times. The team on site was really friendly and attentive and guided us very well.

This place is really beautiful and unrepeatable. To be at that high level and looking for other such high places giving us unbelievable feelings. We will be back next year (we are from another country).
