We booked the 6:30 AM slot via Headout (not the earliest one) to align with the 7:04 sunrise. The strategy was perfect: no queue for ascent. The reality on the 124th floor: the area by the glass was already crowded, making it challenging to get an unobstructed view immediately. With a bit of patience, we secured a front-row spot for the breathtaking sunrise. The main queue we encountered was for the descent (waited ~30 min at ~7:30 AM). Key tips: 1. Timing: Arrive 30-40 mins before sunrise to skip entry lines. 2. Crowd Management: Expect and accept crowding at the windows. Don't get frustrated; wait for your turn. 3. Exit Plan: The descent queue builds up fast. Factor in extra time. Headout's service was flawless. A magnificent experience with manageable downsides if you're prepared.

I really enjoyed visiting the Dubai Underwater Zoo and Penguin Cove. The place is well set up and has so many cool animals to see, like sharks, rays, crocodiles, and lots of colorful fish. Walking through the glass tunnel was awesome and made the experience feel extra exciting. Penguin Cove was my favorite part. The penguins were super cute and fun to watch, especially when they were swimming around and playing. The area looked clean and well cared for, and the staff shared some interesting facts too. Overall, it’s a fun place to visit and definitely worth checking out if you’re in Dubai, especially if you like animals or are visiting with family. The best part is my daughter enjoyed it, and that's what matters.

I visited this experience with friends and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Dubai. Going up to the top of Burj Khalifa was incredible — the views are unreal and we spent a long time just taking photos and enjoying the moment. Despite how popular it is, everything was very well organized and smooth. The Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo was a great way to finish the day together. Walking through the glass tunnel with sharks and rays above us was amazing and something we all talked about afterward. This combo ticket was great value for money and made planning easy. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai with friends.

Dubai's a city that adores skyscrapers, and none shine brighter than the Burj Khalifa. Pick your time, zoom up to the 124th and 125th floors, and gaze upon a sprawling cityscape!

Visit the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo on the same day you visit the Burj Khalifa and explore the depths of the ocean in an interactive aquarium!

Experience the ecological zones of the Rainforest, Rocky Shore, and Living Ocean at the Underwater Zoo.

The next day, get picked up from your hotel in a 4x4 and drive straight into the heart of the Awir desert for a pumped-up desert safari.

Enjoy dune dashing and desert camp activities like camel riding, henna painting, shisha, and end your day with a delectable veg and non-veg buffet.

Fun fact: The Dubai Aquarium is the world's largest suspended aquarium, with a 10 million liter tank that's 51 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 11 meters high.

I decided to do the aquarium first as my slot for Burj Khalifa was at 5:00 PM. The aquarium was amazing with a lot of fishes, jellyfish, seahorses, crocodiles, penguins, otters, and other creatures. The best part was that I got to see the staff there feeding both crocodiles while one of the guides gave us information about the crocodiles as well as their feeding techniques. The aquarium experience was amazing, and a person can easily spend about 2 hours and more exploring everything included in the ticket. There were tickets available for snorkeling, penguin encounter, etc. too! Though I didn't do any of it, it looks absolutely fun! Coming on to Burj Khalifa, the process is decently paced from getting your tickets to heading inside where the lift to the upper floor is. Though, the queue is pretty long so having a fast track ticket will cut down half the waiting time. The view from the top was absolutely beautiful! We got to see the transition from sunset-ish sky to night lights. The fountain show from the top view was fantastic! The only thing is that there's always a big queue for the Burj Khalifa, and even with a fast track ticket, it'll cut down only half the waiting time in the regular ticket. While I was trying to shop, I also noticed that they used very dim lights, and as a person with partial night blindness, it was difficult for me to navigate the souvenir aisles in the dim light. The said souvenirs were decently priced with USD and Euro currency conversion mentioned on some of the price board. The overall experience was nice. And buying online ticket surely saved a good amount of money.

My wife and I booked the Budget-Friendly Evening Desert Safari & BBQ Dinner, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. From pickup to drop-off, everything was well organised and smooth. The desert drive was thrilling, the sunset views were absolutely stunning, and the entire experience felt both exciting and relaxing. The camp setup was beautiful, the atmosphere was lively, and the BBQ dinner was surprisingly good with a great variety of food. A special mention goes to our safari guide, Soni, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, and he made sure everyone felt safe and had a great time throughout the drive and activities. His positive energy really added to the whole experience. For anyone visiting Dubai and looking for a great desert safari experience without overspending, this is absolutely worth it. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend it to couples, friends, or families.

We are very happy as per schedule and plan they have full fill all over requirement. Driver come guide Shaqib was excellent to provide the service and sharing the information. Snacks, BBQ and dances are mind-blowing. Desert Safari in the car we have enjoyed a lot specially my kids. Camel ride was cherry on top of the cake. In the mike they are announcing the special guests and who has birthdays that also we like. The pick up and drop off car was excellent. In the last, I would like to say we enjoyed a lot our desert Safari tour and we we would like to to go again after sometime. Thanks headout team.

We booked the combo for Ferrari world and at the top. The ticketing experience with Headout was seamless with us only requiring the QR code to redeem our tickets at both attractions. Since we we're here around new year's the crowds were pretty huge which translates to long queues for each ride. I'd definitely recommend skip the line tickets for Ferrari world. It may not be required for other attractions as you wouldn't necessarily miss out on any part of the experience without them. Also recommend booking in advance as the counter prices are significantly higher.

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.

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.
