We’ve been saving At The Top for the day when we eventually leave the U.A.E. for good. Since we live just an hour away, the building visible from my bedroom window, we were in no rush to see the view of Dubai from the 124th floor of Burj Khalifa. But when my sisters planned on going to the top, Masood and I decide to join them. And I’m so glad we did because I feel that the experience wouldn’t have been as fun had Masood and I ventured alone. Tickets are booked online a couple of weeks before the visit date. It costs AED 105 (USD 28) as opposed to when one buys a ticket at the entrance (no need to book in advance or fall in the queue, which means one gets entry right then and there) for AED400 (USD108) per person. Please book in advance; the experience is not worth AED400. So we book seven tickets for the 1800 hrs time slot (sunset is at 1820 hrs).

Obviously we’re late. Certain ladies who actually live a few blocks away are the cause of the delay, and one of them didn’t show up (but joined us later for dinner). We leave our cars at the Dubai Mall Level 1 parking area (do not drive directly to the Burj Khalifa). It’s a Friday and the parking is full! The ticket counter and entrance to the Burj Khalifa is right across the food court.

So we get in and line up for security check that makes us feel like we’re entering the airport. Immediately after the security is a blue curtain. “Are you husband and wife?” asks a staff as if it is the most natural question in the world. “Um, yeah?” we reply. “OK, stand here,” the staff instructs. With the blue curtain behind us, we stand and stare at the camera, as another staff takes our picture. A slip of paper with some number written on it is handed to us, and we’re asked to move to make way for the next group of people. “Don’t forget to check your pictures after the tour!” the staff reminds us. This entire episode takes place in one minute. I am still wondering what exactly has happened. The walk leading up to the Burj Khalifa is an amazing experience. There’s this dark hallway with moving images that depict Dubai’s transformation from past to present. This reminds me of Harry Potter paintings that move.

The view from the top is good during the day, but we specifically choose to visit in the evening because the city is simply spectacular at night. In the picture below, the tall building is the famous The Address Hotel.
