Okay - so this is a must do trip if you got to Dubai, the building is amazing and using "Get Your Guide" for the tickets was perfect. Here's what we found: 1. Get the SKY VIP tickets - having to queue to get up would have taken several hours at the time we went and with the VIP tickets, (while we felt bad), we could simply by-pass what looked like a horrendous queue 2. Once you get your voucher on the App - pick up the tickets at the kiosk at the Aquarium in Dubai Mall (avoids having to do this later) 3. Pick the sunset slot - if you time it right, you get to see the panoramic views of Dubai during daylight and at night! 4.... do elect to go the 148th floor - it's an amazing experience Finally, the only reason we dropped this to 4 stars is even having the VIP tickets, coming down was a nightmare with the queues for the lifts, so be prepared and make sure you grab plenty of water if you are lining up!

Skipped the queues going up which was brilliant as we booked for 18.00 and the queues in the other lines were huge. Great views from the top and the coffee and nibbles were a nice touch. Highly recommended then head down for a fountain view restaurant for a meal. Amazing place

Very confusing entry queue. Much time wasted not knowing where to go. Livestock lines. Finally separated into the Sky Lounge group and continued queuing another 20 minutes. BUT. Once you get up there to the 149 level it’s a very nice experience and well worth the money spent. Tea and exquisite Arab snacks as much as you like. No one rushes you to leave. We relaxed and enjoyed the view and friendly atmosphere nearly two hours. Not crowded at all and very attentive and friendly staff. I’d do it again…but wow someone needs to figure out the entry process and dreadful confusion at arrival.
