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.

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.

Free shuttle to Dubai Parks and then full access to Real Madrid park. Then non prime entry to Ain Dubai. Very useful combo to complete a tour on the other side of Dubai.

Booking on dubaitickets.com was very fast and the combo package with entry to Ain Dubai and Madame Tussauds museum brought us a discount of approximately 250 dirhams which helped us get tickets to visit other attractions in Dubai.

I really loved the overall experience at Madame Tussauds Dubai. The wax figures are incredibly realistic and well-designed, and the different themed zones make the visit fun and interactive. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the crowd was well managed, allowing us to enjoy taking photos without feeling rushed. It was a unique and entertaining experience, especially the Bollywood and sports sections, and definitely worth visiting with family or friends.

#Lost my voice, found my adrenaline! 🌊🔥 We spent the day conquering Atlantis Aquaventure and it was absolute madness. From the vertical drop on the Leap of Faith to getting tossed around in the Torrent River, every second was a total rush. 🦈 ​If you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for? This place is a 10/10 thrill ride! 🏆💪
