Lives up to its fame4/5Google 4.6 from 73,000+ reviews; the main gripe is obstructed glass, not disappointment.

Value for money4/5AED 50 adult / AED 20 child with no time limit, against AED 173+ for the Burj Khalifa deck.

Can’t get it elsewhere4/5The only deck that frames old Deira and the new skyline side by side, with a glass-floor bridge.

Easy to do3/5Usually short queues, but the metro walk to Gate 4 is long in the heat and sunset gets busy.
