Reviews from Real Guests:

MOHAMMAD OMAR KOWSIR: In 2018, Dubai became an exclusive attraction richer. The 150-meter-high Dubai Frame tells the story of the origin of the Emirate, but also shows the ultra-modern future. Take the elevator up and enjoy the panoramic view. In the north you see the old area Deira with the Dubai Creek, in the east the Arabian desert, in the south the new Dubai with the Burj Khalifa and in the west the Persian Gulf. The golden frame is of course also the perfect….

Blackispure: I’m proud to say I arranged this trip for my mum. No words can describe the beauty of Burj Khalifa view, even these pictures you see don’t justify it’s an ultimate dream she said, for the very first time she felt you could fly because she found her wings in Burj haha . well, if you visit Dubai and don’t get to the tallest building in the world & fastest elevator in the world ,then you have seen nothing.
