Disappointed
We booked our tickets for the Burj Khalifa in advance and chose a 5pm slot so we could enjoy the views in daylight and then watch the sunset. We followed the instructions on the tickets regarding what time to arrive — don’t do this! Arrive at least an hour and half earlier. We ended up queuing for over an hour just to go up, and then another long wait to come back down. By the time we finally reached the top, it was already dark. While the city lights were pretty, it was impossible to make out any real detail of Dubai’s skyline. Overall, a very disappointing experience considering our planned timing.
