First, it takes visitors from the ground level of The Dubai Mall to level 125. Not even the elevator ride is boring - the elevators travel at 33 feet per second with special projections that make it appear as though you're soaring above other global landmarks.
Once you reach Level 125, you have 360-degree views of the city plus more interactive features. You can then get back on another high-speed elevator and shoot up to the 148th floor - the SKY level - for the highest outdoor terrace in the world. The entire experience lasts over an hour.
Tickets are not even that pricey, ranging from $34 to $40 for an adult (AED 125 to 150) and $25 to $32 for a child (AED 95 to AED 120) at today's conversion rates, with prices depending on the time of day. Fast track tickets cost roughly $81 or AED 300.Even though it opened only two days ago on Wednesday, already there are plenty of Instagram shots of what it looks like. Take a look below.
