DUBAI MALL - BURJ KHALIFA- DUBAI FOUNTAIN
After extensive planning we left for Dubai on 27th October by Indigo flight 6E 95 departing Bangalore at 7.20 am and reached Dubai at 9.50 am Dubai time. Though a lot of reviews said about long queues in immigration we cleared it without any delay or problem. We were picked up by our tour operator who took us to our hotel Holiday Inn Downtown. After checking in and resting for a while we left for Dubai Mall. Our family friend joined us at Dubai Mall and we sent back our taxi since our friend said he will be dropping us back at the hotel.
As suggested by our friend we decided to go to Burj Khalifa for which our tour operator had booked tickets. There was some queues but it was fast moving. Burj Khalifa is supposed to be the tallest building in the world with 148 floors. We had tickets to go up to 124th floor and the lift ride was amazing in so much as that it just took a minute to reach the top. The view of the illuminated city from the observation deck was amazing. After taking some photographs we returned.On the way back there is a gift shop where you can buy mementos.The trip to the top was well organised and the crowd was regulated perfectly to avoid any over crowding.

Dubai Mall is a shoppers dream. Even if one spends a full day here it is not enough to see it all.
Not only shopping but you have enough and more of restaurants.
There is also an indoor waterfall, a choreographed outdoor fountain and the Dubai Aquarium and Under water zoo in the mall. Separate tickets are to be purchased for visiting aquarium and under water zoo.
The Dubai fountain is just outside the Dubai Mall. The musical fountain with colorful water spouts dancing to music is an wonderful experience.This is must-visit place in Dubai. Here is a video:
