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.

I really enjoyed visiting Dubai Frame. I felt it is a unique and meaningful attraction because, from one place, I could clearly see Old Dubai on one side and New Dubai on the other. The view from the top was amazing and made me appreciate how beautifully Dubai has developed. I felt excited walking on the glass floor—it was thrilling but felt very safe. I also liked the museum inside, which helped me understand Dubai’s past, present, and future in a simple way. The place was clean, well organized, and the staff were polite. Overall, I felt the experience was worth the money. I personally recommend Dubai Frame as a must-visit place for anyone coming to Dubai.

The visit to the museum of illusion was a fantastic experience.The soma cube puzzle and illusions were food for the brain. What I liked the most was the vortex tunnel. The symmetry room and reverse room were equally mind blowing. All these made our day unforgettable.

We visited teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi with our teenage sons and friends, and it was an amazing experience for all of us. Walking through the immersive, ever-changing installations together felt truly special. The atmosphere, light, and sound made it unforgettable, and it’s something we’ll all remember long after! Loved it!!!

Wow. Just wow! 🤯✨ The Museum of the Future in Dubai completely blew my mind. From the second you see the building, you already know you’re in for something special — it looks like it came straight out of a sci-fi movie. And once you step inside… it only gets better. The whole experience feels super immersive and interactive, like you’re actually traveling into the future. Crazy technology, inspiring ideas, and concepts that really make you stop and think. It’s not just about gadgets , it’s about people, the planet, and what tomorrow could look like. Honestly, I loved how fun and engaging it was. You don’t just walk around and look at things, you feel part of the story. I walked out feeling inspired, curious, and genuinely excited about the future. If you’re in Dubai, this place is an absolute must-see. No doubts, no hesitation. 🚀✨

The Dubai Fountain is one of the world’s most spectacular choreographed water shows, located on the Burj Lake beside the Dubai Mall and at the foot of the Burj Khalifa. Each show is a carefully coordinated performance where thousands of water jets shoot streams of water up to 140 meters high—roughly the height of a 45-story building. These jets move in sync with a mix of global and Arabic music, creating a dramatic, immersive experience for visitors.
