Viewpoint
At the Top, Burj Khalifa
Downtown and Business Bay, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Observation decks on levels 124 and 125 of Burj Khalifa, with higher options on level 148 and a lounge on levels 152 to 154.
The Dubai Fountain
Our take
Watching from the lakeside promenade costs nothing, and shows repeat every half hour through the evening. For a closer view, the floating boardwalk and lake rides cost extra. It slots easily before or after dinner in Downtown.
Best for: A free evening show in Downtown
