"At 2,750 feet it’s the world’s tallest building and an unmissable Dubai icon; some of the best views can be enjoyed from ground level by the Dubai Fountains, but if you want to go up there are At The Top observation decks (including a vertiginous outdoor terrace on the 148th floor) or the restaurant and lounge Atmosphere on the 122nd floor — my tip is to save sundowner hour for the beach and go up for breakfast to watch the city wake below." - Nicola Chilton
"The world’s tallest building at 828 meters, anchoring Dubai’s architectural ambition and a rise that’s both literal and symbolic." - Karina Acharya
"The tallest building in the world at over 160 stories; visitors can ascend via an elevator that travels at an "ear-popping 33 feet per second," making the vertical journey as much an experience as the views from above." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"It really doesn't need an introduction after you've seen Tom Cruise swinging around its walls! You won't ever get sick and tired of admiring this architectural feat." - Orikami Lab
"An iconic skyscraper and major landmark that experiences its heaviest visitation during Dubai’s winter high season but typically sees fewer crowds in shoulder months like April and October, making those times better for a quieter visit. Visitor patterns around this attraction reflect the citywide seasonality—winter draws the most tourists, while summer and shoulder months offer shorter lines and more space for sightseeing." - Travel + Leisure Editors
