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.

Great experience away from the skyscrapers where you feel connected to nature with the desert and the sand. We had also ordered VIP tickets, as well as an extended camel ride (15min) and took a few photos with the hawk. Together with the show (belly dance, fire show and dress dance) and the delicious buffet, it was a successful evening. Our driver Najam picked us up from the hotel on time and took us on an adventurous desert drive to the show and brought us back safely. One star deduction for the fact that before, during and after the show you are constantly asked by the stall operators if you want to buy something even though you have already declined several times. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend.

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.

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.

The view from the top is absolutely fantastic, BUT, to actually get to that point was a nightmare. We pre booked tickets for a specific time, eventually arrived at the burj Khalifa 1.15 mins before our time, poor signage inside the mall to get you there didn't help. Huge queues to get in, went to the entrance to get some guidance, was told to join the queue at the back!! At this point it's worth mentioning in the mall there is a counter selling tickets , and they join the very same queue that we joined with our pre booked time allocated ticket!! The organisation is possibly the worst I have ever experienced at a venue like this, it took 2.5 hours to actually get to the entrance, 2 or 3 people on the ticket desk, where we are directed to to collect our actually tickets?? Ridiculous system, it's the whole point of pre booking surely!! We were told from that point it's at least another 2/2.5 hours to reach the observation level!! We upgraded to vip and was up on floor 148 in 25 mins!! Hardly anyone managed the queues, people were pushing in all the time. There clearly needs to be a rethink on how to improve access.

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.

Due to the visit coinciding with peak tourist season, the attraction was significantly crowded. We opted for the sunrise experience; however, it is worth noting that access is restricted to Levels 124 and 125 during these early hours. Unfortunately, the lack of an outdoor observation deck on these floors impacted the quality of the sunrise view. For those seeking a more immersive experience, the limited accessibility during this time slot is a significant factor to consider.

Our desert safari was an excellent experience, made truly special by our guide, Saqib. He was perfectly punctual, highly cooperative, and extremely attentive. He anticipated our needs before we even asked, which made everything feel smooth and effortless. His professionalism and consideration elevated the entire experience. It honestly would not have been this enjoyable without him. Highly recommended!

IMG and the Burj were amazing. Great combination set of tickets which made our experiences at both venues very seamless. All the tickets were contained in a single app. The Burj was exactly as I thought it would be and IMG was one of the best theme parks we experienced. Great rides and super quality entertainment.
