    Review of: Burj Khalifa
    Impressive
    On our second visit to Dubai we decided to visit Burj on a slightly cloudy morning, so that we could enjoy the panorama without the usual haze.
    We've got our complimentary tickets through Emirates, since we had flown with them during expo2020, so I can't judge the entry fee, but in any case I can say that it's totally worth it.
    The elevator ride a bit scary, and when at the terrace and you looked down you could see how miniscule you are. You've got a wonderful view on most of Dubai, and if you go early you will beat the crowds and enjoy your time without being pushed here and there.
    It's an impressive building and also entertaining,with a lot of boards and pairings showing how it was built, showing who built it, etc.
    Definitely a must when in Dubai!

    Review of: The Dubai Mall
    Beautiful mall to visit, even if you are not shopping
    This is a huge shopping mall set in a beautifully designed locale filled with man-made water bodies, fountains and buildings with a range of architectural styles. It is some distance from the nearest metro but travellators make it easy to reach the mall. We had the best pizza from Pitfire Pizza at Time Out. They were reasonably priced too. The best time to visit is in the late afternoon. You can watch the lights come on as the sun sets and take very good pics. I heard the fountain and light shows are a must see so will be going back to the mall during the weekend to catch them.

    Review of: Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark
    Family fun! Go on Posideons revenge!
    The waterpark was awesome - it's connected to the atlantis hotel therefore if you are a guest you get free tickets included in the stay. There are three towers, the top ride on each tower is the 'scariest' therefore the the most fun! The best ride was shockwave - such a good laugh, the scariest was leap of faith, but the one which caused the most anticipation was Posideons revenge. But absolutely do all of these rides and face your fears. There's rides for all the family - the rapids are quite long but you can jump out if you want to. Staff are friendly and helpful too. A buggy drives you around the park to avoid getting too hot and queue lines go in the shade. Food and drink options available for purchase, though we didn't get any. early you go, the less the queue so do the big rides then (all the ones at the top of the tower).

    Review of: Ski Dubai
    First skiing experience
    young at heart will surely enjoy this experience. We opted for the Ski Discovery Lesson and it was a great experience. We really enjoyed my time in Ski Dubai, they have slides and a lot of activities to do there.

    Review of: Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo
    Nice but short
    The aquarium tube is very short, you might enjoy the view from outside better than inside. Zoo was nice with lovely creatures for kids. Unfortunately we didnt catchup with penguins show

    Amazing
    Amazing, all you need is under one roof. Any budget is possible to accommodate. Plus in hot summer the ski resort is available on the ground floor

    Review of: The Lost Chambers Aquarium
    Certified Dive in the Ambassadors Lagoon
    Diving with a wide variety of marine species was incredible - made even better with a really well maintained aquarium! It’s visibility lends itself nicely to having an amazing and unique experience you won’t find in many other places

    Review of: Wild Wadi Waterpark
    Great fun!
    Great place for kids and was right next door to our hotel (Jumeirah Beach Hotel) which made it very convenient to visit multiple times a day!
