    We visited on a Saturday morning and had a great experience. We queued for about ten minutes for the lift but after this it was all pretty swift with the rest of the experience.

    The lift journey (was quite cramped) but was pretty spectacular, lifting you to floor 124 in approximately a minute.

    Once at the top, the views are amazing and give you a sense of just how far Dubai has come in such a short space of time. I would love to come back in a few years and do this again to see how much it has changed.

    The observation decks were spacious and you never felt like you couldn’t get close to the windows for a great view. Yes, sometimes you might need to wait for certain areas but nothing excessive.

    For me, no first visit to Dubai would be complete without a trip to the Burj Khalifa. The engineering and design make this a modern global icon.

    Burj Al Arab is an incredible hotel and a true symbol of Dubai. The design is unique, and the level of luxury is amazing. From the moment you arrive, the service is excellent, and everything feels exclusive.

    The interior is beautifully decorated with gold and marble, and the views of the sea and city are breathtaking. The restaurants offer delicious food, and the atmosphere is perfect for a special experience.

    Even if you don’t stay at the hotel, visiting for afternoon tea or dinner is worth it. A must-visit place in Dubai!

    Visited twice previously but not during the evening. It was busy but not overwhelmingly so. Wanted to watch sunset but there was cloud cover so it wasn’t the experience we had hoped for (nothing the attraction can do about that!). My friend loved the experience and rated it the best thing she did in Dubai during our short break.

    Dubai is renowned for its architectural wonders and the Opus by Omniyat is another worthy addition to the list. Located in the heart of Business Bay, this building is eye-catching and well worth a few pics. One can see it from the Dubai Canal as well. The highlight of the building is the irregularly shaped opening in its center.

    The Palladium is an office building in Dubai Media City, located near the BBC and Zee offices. It's not really much of an attraction, unless one is working here.
