Combo: Tickets to Burj Khalifa At The Top + Guided City Tour of Dubai Old Town

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.

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.

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.

The views are spectacular — you see Dubai’s skyline, desert and the Arabian Gulf stretching out in all directions. The telescopes help zoom in on landmarks below, and sunset visits give gorgeous photos.  • The ride up in the elevator is fast and fun — one of the world’s quickest elevators.  • Once on the observation decks (124 & 125), you get panoramic 360° views indoors and outdoors, with great photo spots.

Absolutely loved this combo. Probably would not have done the aquarium, but this deal was great.we loved going up the 124th floor the views were amazing . The aquarium and underwater zoo were great ,something you could never imagine in a shopping mall. Love Dubai ❤️
