What you'll see from the top
Five things to look out for. Swipe or scroll sideways for the tour.
What you see depends on the weather: haze or morning fog can soften the view, especially in winter.
The ride up
Check in on the Lower Ground level of The Dubai Mall, then ride one of the world's fastest lifts: 10 metres a second, up to level 124 in under a minute.
Level 124
Floor-to-ceiling windows, telescopes and an outdoor terrace, 452 metres up. Stay as long as you like.
Level 125
One floor higher at 456 metres, with 360-degree views over Downtown, Sheikh Zayed Road and the coast.
The Dubai Fountain
The fountain dances every 30 minutes from 6pm to 11pm, and at lunchtime. From levels 124 and 125 you watch the whole show from above.
After dark
Book an evening slot to see the city light up below you, from the towers of Business Bay to Sheikh Zayed Road.
