As earlier mentioned, Legoland Water Park is situated at Dubai Parks & Resorts located in Jebel Ali. The location is precisely on Sheikh Zayed Rd between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This is about a 40 minute drive from major hotel areas in Yas Island (Abu Dhabi) and Downtown Dubai.

It’s easy to get a taxi to Dubai Parks & Resorts from the above locations. Alternatively, you could opt for a private car.

How to dress to Legoland Water Park

This is possibly the most tricky question, but we’ll address it anyway to our best level.

●        Kids are at freedom to wear anything really-bathers, rashies, sunsuits are all perfect. However, have in mind they’ll be out in sun so hats, sunscreen, sunglasses and whatever else that will come in handy for sun protection is highly encouraged.

●        Gents-Consider longer board shorts. Warning! Something clingy will have people steal awkward looks. Unless you’re okay with it, keep off clingy kind. Shirtless is okay for guys too.

●        Ladies-This is where matters get really intricate. With a variety to of swim wear available in the market right from full body bikinis to the skimpiest, I’d highly recommend going for the latter. In a family water park, may be too much flesh is something you might want to be moderate about.

Theme park lovers, this waterpark will delight you and your family. The rides may not be as adrenaline pumping as other rides in Dubai, but for family, the park is a perfect place for a  much needed getaway! The park has its own unique charm of getting kids and adults alike get playful and simply enjoy the waters and the Legos in their style!

The futuristic skyscraper-Burj khalifa

The futuristic skyscraper-Burj khalifa is not only an epic piece of art by itself, but it also hosts a great deal of other globally renowned attractions including the world’s first designer hotel, the world’s highest observation deck and many more. Below we look deeper into the world’s tallest structure and how to enjoy all it has got to offer.
First off, did you know that Burj Khalifa holds multiple world records? That’s a record on its own, right? Not two world records, not three but quite a number including:

●        The world’s tallest free standing structure at over 828 metres-precisely 2, 7165.5 feet

●        World’s highest floors

●        The highest occupied floor in the world

●        The highest outdoor observation deck in the world

●        The tallest lift in the world

●        The lift with longest travel distance

There you have it. Quite impressive!

What no one tells you about Burj Khalifa:

●        The actual number of floors the structure hosts is 163 contrary to what we’ve been told. The top three parts are part of a mechanical wing not accessible to the public. Please have that at the back of your mind everytime you see a post referring to 160 stories and not the actual number 163 floors.

●        It’s no brainer that Burj Khalifa wasn’t constructed in a day and the process came forth with a set of its own challenges. But, putting all things to consideration, the construction of  an epic structure with such proportions moved quite swiftly. The construction of the building kicked off in 2004 and all skeletal work and exterior concluded in 1st Oct 2009. It then took another three months finishing up the interior. The official opening of the building was in Jan 4, 2010.

●       For successful completion, the structure incurred quite a lot of resources of upto $1.5 billion, and an additional amount for customised extras including a mechanical window cleaning system for the top 27 floors at a cost of $8 million.

But considering the stature and complexity that went into the project, the figure may

not be as crazy as it sound. The clever and compact design of the structure made it

easy to use affordable materials. One of this kind was using concrete for the first 156

floors instead of expensive steel for the remainder top floors.

Getting to Burj Khalifa

Quite easy and straightforward. First to note is that you cannot directly visit the building unless you’re a resident, staying at the Armani hotel or have a reservation for lunch or dinner at AT.Mosphere. The public can access Burj Khalifa via Dubai Mall’s entrance on lower ground. To go to Dubai Mall, use Dubai Metro and alight at Dubai Mall Station. Inside the Mall, follow signs directing you to Burj Khalifa At the Top experience. If you use a taxi from your hotel, drop off at Downtown Dubai, walk over a scenic bridge that connects you to Dubai Mall via an outdoor entrance.

A sneak peek inside Burj Khalifa

It’s hard to imagine what is inside the magnificent structure and below is a look:

●        A swanky hotel in the first 15 floors

●        900 luxury residential flats

●        A lavish restaurant on levels 122, 123

●        Observation decks from level 124, 125 to 148

Even more beautiful, the hotel’s magnificent rooms overlook the magical Dubai fountain and the breathtaking downtown Dubai.

Armani has commissioned six more hotels and three holiday resorts under Armani label.

Armani Prive

This is part of Armani hotel and it’s located at the Lobby level. It’s Burj Khalifa’s only club which makes it popular than it’s already is. The VIP venue is a swanky place to dance the night away to the beat of both local and internationally renowned DJs. An interesting policy here you should know about is guests must dress elegantly and must bring a partner or be part of a group. Bu  it’s an amazing place to soak in the glamour, the ambience and just enjoy a luxurious clubbing experience.

World’s Second Largest Pool

Located on level 76 is world’s second largest pool. But like all things Burj Khalifa, you bet the pool doesn’t come second in design and beauty. It’s a small pool but extraordinary in that it provides sky high views no other place in the world can offer.

It’s cosy, private and half-moon shaped making it even more interesting.

At.Mosphere

Wow! Another world record holder-World’s highest restaurant is Burj Khalifa’s At.Mosphere on level 122. It’s the ultimate place to wine and dine in style in Dubai. The high end restaurant has a unique, panoramic design with floor to ceiling glass windows that allow you to enjoy the amazing views beyond. This is definitely no ordinary hotel to dine in with succulent, Michelin starred cuisine. Why not give it a shot!

SKY Lobbies

The lobbies are located on levels 43, 76 and 123. They perfectly sit between At the Top deck and  At.Mosphere restaurant. The lobbies are open for public access to visitors and residents.

More reasons to visit the lobbies, there are two Amenity Spas on level 43 and 76 :)

Burj Club

Well, does the title give you the impression of a night club? There’s more. The club occupies four floors each serving a unique purpose. On first floor is the reception, a gym equipped with a state of the art equipments, spa and a juice bar.

Second floor has same facilities as first floor but this time dedicated to both men and women. Ground floor features an indoor pool and a lounge for bites and cocktails. The rooftop lounge crowns it all with daily happy hours from 6pm-8pm on selected drinks.

Wherever you might be visiting in Burj Khalifa, you’ll be sure to catch exquisite interiors, opulent furnishings, edgy features, rich fabrics, golden and silver motifs, thoroughly polished marble floors and cutting edge ornaments.
