    "Very grateful that I got to see the Burj Khalifa twice. The world's tallest building is such a sight to behold, even after seeing it for the second time. Tip: Come in the evening to see the musical fountain in front of it come alive & also catch the light show super-imposed on Burj Khalifa."

    "It is worth taking children to visit, but it is best to understand writing English or prepare a photo translation software, because the museum's introduction of voice and text are in English and Arabic. Otherwise, children can only go in and see the flowers, which is a lot less fun and knowledge."

    "Need to go to the subway station, scan the QR code received by the email to enter the station. If you want to go to the Palm Tower, you need to buy an additional 5 dirhams one-way light rail ticket. It feels not very cost-effective. In addition, there is a long queue. Basically, you have to play 2-2.5 hour."

    "Much better than the abundance of dubai mall! The light is rich and not monotonous, but even you can dive and take pictures. It can be combined with Atlantis' app explanation (https://theoceantale.com/#/lostchambers) The fly in the ointment is still a bit small. But it is only 88 🥲"
