    Burj Khalifa was on my bucket list for years but now I can tick it as done. We enjoyed the day including a drive around Dubai, crossing the Creek in a dhow, lunch in Starbucks (our choice) then the rocket like lift up to the 124th floor for a few photos of Dubai down below and finally a wander in the largest Mall in the world. A busy day but very enjoyable. Would recommend

    War alles sehr gut organisiert. Wir haben viel gesehen. Wäre noch schön gewesen wenn der Reiseleiter etwas deutsch gesprochen hätte.

    Der Begleiter war nur englischsprachig und hat auch auf englisch nicht viel gesagt. Den größten Zeitaufwand waren die zwei Verkaufsveranstaltungen (Teppich und Gewürze). Die Karten für Burj Khalifa wurden besorgt, war in Ordnung.

    2 Foto-Stopps und 2 Verkaufs-Stopps. Laaange Schlange beim Burji Khalifa..1,5 Std anstehen. Gut, dass ich nur die Halbtagstour gebucht hatte und oben meine Zeit hatte. In der Ausflugsgruppe waren Gäste mit Ganztagstour, die eigentlich oben angekommen, sich schon in die Schlange zum Runterkommen hätten anstellen müssen - und wären auch dann zu spät zum Treffpunkt für die Weiterfahrt gekommen.. Durch die Warterei war deren gesamte Zeitplan hin....

    Der Zubringfahrer war sehr unfreundlich und informierte uns nicht über den weiteren Ablauf. Wir fühlten uns etwas unsicher, ob wir wirklich richtig waren. Das Museum war in Wirklichkeit ein Teppichbasar, bei dem uns überteuerte Teppiche verkauft werden sollten. Auf dem angekündigten Marktbesuch wurden wir gezielt zu einem Geschäft geführt. Freizeit hatten wir hier nur in diesem Geschäft, wo die Verkäufer wieder versuchten, uns alles Mögliche zu verkaufen.

    Taken to a carpet shop wasting our time. Burj khalifia should have been first stop when NOT busy, saving 2 hours of queuing! Trip was fine, but to be honest would have been cheaper, simpler & quicker to do it ourselves on metro or taxi. Just a lot of driving round in circles on a bus. Very little time actually stopped. Completely missed out the 200 year old town bit. Just rushed to the little boats. Whole day was about the queue at Burj, so as I said - why not do that bit first!?????.
