Burj Khalifa
Visiting the Burj Khalifa offers two stunning views - Sunrise and Sunset. While the day view is not as impressive, the sunset has a bonus - you can watch the Dubai Fountain show from the top! Tickets for the 124 and 125 levels cost between AED 149 and AED 224, depending on the time, and the 148 level costs AED 370 (which includes access to the 124 and 125 levels too). The Sunrise view is AED 149 and includes a light breakfast of croissant and juice/coffee at the ground floor cafe.
To get to the 'At the Top' ticket counter, you'll need to enter the Dubai Mall at the Fashion Avenue car park on level 7 and take the lift down. Make sure to arrive in advance, as it can be confusing if you don't know where to go. Watching the night turn into the day is a mesmerizing experience, and getting up early to wait for the sun to rise is worth it. The best spot to view the sunrise is from the 124 level. Note that you don't need to show any proof when presenting your online ticket.
The Dubai Fountain
A visit to Dubai isn't complete without experiencing the Dubai Fountain show, which takes place outside Dubai Mall beneath the Burj Khalifa. During the day, there is an hourly show beginning at 1:30 p.m. From 6 pm, the show takes place every 30 minutes. It's free to attend, making it a popular attraction, and can become quite crowded. To find some space, take a short walk around the water.
