"An iconic skyscraper and major landmark that experiences its heaviest visitation during Dubai’s winter high season but typically sees fewer crowds in shoulder months like April and October, making those times better for a quieter visit. Visitor patterns around this attraction reflect the citywide seasonality—winter draws the most tourists, while summer and shoulder months offer shorter lines and more space for sightseeing." - Travel + Leisure Editors
