Expert Tips for the Best Experience
Book tickets in advance, especially for sunset slots which sell out quickly
Arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled time for security and check-in
Sunset slots (4-6 PM) offer the best views but are the most popular - book early
Visit on a clear day for the best visibility - check weather forecast
Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens for the best photos
Dress comfortably - there's no dress code but avoid very short skirts/dresses for the glass floor
Allow extra time if combining with Dubai Mall - it's massive and easy to get lost
Consider the 148th floor experience for a more exclusive, less crowded experience
Visit during weekdays for fewer crowds and better photo opportunities
Stay for the Dubai Fountain show (evenings) - it's free and spectacular
