    booked my Burj Khalifa at the top ticket through Trip.com and the whole experience was very smooth. The booking was easy, the ticket was delivered instantly, and entry was very easy. The views from the top were incredible you can see all of Dubai, the desert and the coastline. The elevator ride was super fast and the observation deck was perfect for photos. Overall, great experience and Trip.com made everything convenient. Definitely worth it.

    This place is easily accessible by skytrain, The first impression is amazing as well as high temperature. I spotted that asian people avoid being exposed to sunlight. The view is amazing, this place is one of the most modern projects that I have ever seen in my life. Must see while you are in. Dubai

    The Dubai Frame is one of those attractions that perfectly combines architecture, art, and history in a single experience. Standing 150 meters tall, it literally “frames” the city — one side shows old Dubai and the other the modern skyline, which makes it a unique and symbolic spot to visit.

    It's quite small and I walked around it in ten minutes. I happened to see the fish feeding and it was quite lively. The discounted ticket I bought on Ctrip was not expensive and it was OK. If you want to see a big one, go to Dubai Mall or the one in Abu Dhabi. This one is suitable for those staying in or near Palm Island.

    We had the VIP package and I’m glad we did because we were waited on fantastically by our host and the amount of people there was amazing, the queue for the food on the normal package was huge but the VIP package entailed that our food was served to us..The food was endless with fish, meat and all served with a fantastic evening of entertainment..We will do this experience again.

    The overall feeling was luxurious. The suite we visited cost $50,000 a night. The color was red, representing the element of fire. We stopped by for a drink (photos are not allowed in the lobby), then went upstairs to sample a red date and a cup of tea. Finally, we toured the suite. Then, with the money gone, we relaxed. We went about our business.
