#dubaitrip I almost didn’t bother myself because of bad reviews and not being able to photograph Burj Khalifa in your shot if you were actually in Burj Khalifa! But then I thought it would be bad to miss it when you’re in Dubai and change to see the tallest building in the world. So I looked for it a bit and decided to get a VIP ticket so I could go to the 154th floor for a unique experience in the highest lounge in the world. He also allowed me to go to the 148th floor and the top of the observation platform. The money was well spent. For many reasons There are no queues to wake up. VIP and Sky cardholders go to the waiting area, get a coffee and then go to an exclusive elevator. A breeze My ticket took me to the top level lounge. There were only a few of us there on Saturday afternoon around 4pm waiting for the sunset. The singer wasn’t great but the cakes would have died for him! Unlimited drinks from the bar too. But it was the cakes I kept coming back to. The views from 154 are no different from the low levels but when I went to 148 (again there is no projection queue) the views were spectacular because – and that’s critical – there is an outdoor observation deck. This allowed me to have clear photos and there were no crowds. I went to the 124th floor on my way down and it was packed. Any photo I tried from here was through the stained glass with all the finger marks and included reflections of people's glass behind me. There is no such concern in 148. I got free access to the Dubai Mall Aquarium and Zoo with my VIP ticket and this is actually a great visit, especially seeing the beautiful otters. Therefore, I would undoubtedly recommend that the standard observation surface exceed 124 levels. It was great to walk through long queues and jump to my designated elevator up and down. Note:- For you shoppers out there. The store is on the ground floor when you go out and those in the mall are good but the large souvenir shop on the 124th floor has much more including the exclusive goods I only saw here. An extra bonus for a ticket and boarding this milestone.

#dubaitrip The Burj Khalifa, an absolute must-see in Dubai, stands as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural grandeur. This towering icon dominates the skyline with such authority that it's practically the city's heartbeat. Its sheer magnitude is awe-inspiring – a majestic structure that scrapes the heavens and dwarfs everything in its vicinity. What makes the Burj Khalifa even more captivating is its omnipresence across the city. No matter where you are in Dubai, the skyscraper seems to peek out from behind corners, beckoning you to come closer and behold its splendor. It's not just a building; it's a magnetic force that draws your gaze from every corner of this dynamic city. Ascend to the At The Top observation deck, and the scale of Dubai unfolds before your eyes. The city seems like a miniature wonderland beneath you, and the desert beyond stretches to the horizon. It's a surreal experience that captures the vastness of Dubai's ambition and the harmonious blend of the modern metropolis with the surrounding natural beauty. The Burj Khalifa isn't merely a skyscraper; it's an emblem of Dubai's relentless pursuit of excellence and a beacon that symbolizes the city's rise to global prominence. It's a must-see, not just for its architectural prowess, but for the panoramic perspective it provides of a city that refuses to be confined by limits.

First, we arrived in Abu Dhabi. It was Ramadan, and we chose to stay at the Edison Hotel. Upon arrival, locals in white robes gathered together, driving luxury vehicles and playing uplifting music🎵. The atmosphere was incredibly exciting! I highly recommend the Edison Hotel in Abu Dhabi for its great value for money and the pleasant scenery around. Unfortunately, due to our tight schedule, we didn't have more time to enjoy the hotel's amenities. In Abu Dhabi, we booked a mosque visit at sunset. It's important to arrange for a chartered car and attraction reservations in advance, otherwise, it might be impossible to organize at the last minute. The mosque is magnificent and sacred. I bought a robe at the entrance and remember to bargain hard!🕌️ Warner Bros. World and Ferrari World are must-visit places, especially suitable for children. There, you won't feel the sun, tiredness, or rush, and it's a lot of fun. The country gives a comfortable feeling, particularly good for family trips with kids😌. Next, we went to Dubai and chose to stay at the St. Regis Hotel. The beach requires a drive to get to, and the sky pool and beach do not allow children, which is a bit disappointing. However, the beach pool at the St. Regis is truly beautiful and enchanting, as if transporting you to another dimension, offering a refreshing experience. It also allowed me the freedom to dress in ways I wouldn't dare to try back home. Booking in advance is necessary for the Burj Khalifa and the Museum of the Future, as it was peak season when we visited, and without a reservation, it would have been impossible to go up. The Museum of the Future felt like being in a movie scene, filled with a sense of the future, as if traveling through time. Although the wait to go up the Burj Khalifa was a bit frustrating, the mood was joyous once up there, and we even caught a spectacular fountain show⛲️ and light display. Additionally, the Louvre Abu Dhabi is a place I particularly liked. The Presidential Palace, on the other hand, was just okay for me. The exhibits at the Louvre Abu Dhabi are rich and varied, dazzling to the eyes, and each spot is as beautiful as a painting. I also took a very pleasant boat ride. During our yacht sightseeing, we took a taxi because we were in a hurry, and the driver charged us an exorbitant fare. This was really infuriating, but everything else was great, so be sure to choose your transportation carefully🚗. You can download Uber for convenient and affordable rides, and the cars are quite nice. We also booked a desert hotel in advance. Since we are a family of four, the hotel had certain requirements for the room type, making the desert hotel the most expensive part of the trip. However, it didn't disappoint me; the kids had a lot of fun, and the desert dinner was great. I took multiple yacht sightseeing trips in Dubai, and my favorite was watching the sunset from the yacht. The sky at each moment showed different kinds of beauty, eventually turning into an orange sea, intoxicatingly beautiful. All the reservations were arranged by a Chinese lady, who was very friendly. If you need, I can recommend her to you!

#dubaitrip Very beautiful place, no way of expressing the experience and the view from up there. Definitely worth the way, the detour and the cost. If you get more expensive tickets for the top the way is overall less and easier to get down as well as you get to experience higher levels than those with cheaper tickets, free food, drinks and cozy places to view the sunset of you are lucky and good with timing. Impressive doesn't even begin to express the view and overall experience

Reaching new heights - both physically and spiritually - at the top of the iconic Burj Khalifa! 🌆✨ During our trip to Dubai, we had the incredible opportunity to elevate our perspective with a yoga session at the pinnacle of this architectural marvel. Amidst the clouds and panoramic views, finding serenity took on a whole new meaning. Yoga at the top of the Burj Khalifa is a blend of mindfulness and awe, a dance between grounding poses and limitless horizons. The city below transformed into a mosaic of lights as the sun dipped below the skyline. It was a unique and incredible experience. Practicing yoga is enriching anywhere, but practicing yoga on top of the tallest building in the world feels like a victory! With the view from the top of the Burj Khalifa, tall buildings seemed small, and of course, it was impossible to see anyone walking on the streets below. We will never forget doing yoga in such a high and significant place in the city. It's a great experience for you to try on your next trip to Dubai. In January 2022, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai holds the title of the tallest building in the world. It stands at a height of 828 meters (2,717 feet) and has 163 floors. However, it's a good idea to verify the current status, as there may have been new developments or construction projects since my last update in 2022. #YogaAtTheTop #BurjKhalifaMagic #ElevateYourWellness #TravelTips #Tripcom #Dubai #Mettahara
