Love the view of Dubai from Burj Khalifa , and underwater zoo. Kids were excited and had a great fun. The only downside is waiting with small kids.

Wassem was very nice with us and we had included exactly what was described in the booking: 4x4 in the desert, very short camel ride, sandbording on the dune, BBQ and spectacle. We could do even some 20mn quad in option that was actually nice to do even if expensive. (250 AED per quad dual). My sons loved it! I recommend this safari.

It was an amazing experience. Didn't encounter crowd. The booking through this app was seamless and effortless. My wife and I enjoyed every second of being on top at Burj Khalifa. Very scenic, peaceful and thrill being at such a height and able to see earth's curvature at the horizon.
