We highly recommend booking in as much advance time as possible so that you do not get charged too much and can quickly get access to viewing the top of the world from the Burj Khalifa. During weekends and if any exhibitions or shows are going on in the city all slots sell out very fast and sometimes the way can be days to get a normal 100 AED admission ticket.

Bring your digital cameras and mobile phones to record the experience and take as many pictures and videos as you can. To make the experience a memorable one make sure your cameras and phones batteries are fully charged for this specific experience because you will be sure to take many pictures. The view is simply breathtaking.

In case you forget your cameras there is a system in place to take your pictures and once your tour winds down and you get to the bottom of the Burj Khalifa, you will be given the option to purchase printed pictures of yourself and your family or loved ones. The pictures usually cost 100 to 150 AED per picture and come in an 8x8 size. If your purchase more than one picture you can sometimes get a discount on the second picture.
Another neat trick to save you some money is to act is if you are not interested in purchasing the pictures at all and sometimes the sales lady or man will offer you a discounted price right from the start to interest you in purchasing the pictures. If that happens then you can pick up the picture for 50-100 AED. It does not happen often but if you apply some of your negotiation and bartering skills you will almost always be sure to receive a discount. There is also a souvenir boutique on your way out which carries snow globes, t shirts, bags and accessories with the At The Top Burj Khalifa logo's and emblems.
