This shape specifically, it's called an onion dome. I can't make it perfectly symmetrical using the curve tool.

Using the following method, you can edit the shape, or tweak the curves, and it will be automatically reflected on the other side.

Using a guide, draw one half of the shape with the Pen Tool.

Open the Appearance panel

Add a Transform Effect with the following settings:

Use Object > Path > Add Anchor Points to add additional anchor points to the oval. -- Added anchors are always positioned exactly midway between existing anchors.

Use the Direct Selection Tool to move the top anchor upward

Use the Convert Anchor Point Tool to move the Bezier handles of the top anchor down, Hold the Shift key down to ensure the handles are 90Ã‚Â° vertical from their anchor. And move them both so the handle is in the same position under the anchor.

Finally use the Free Transform Tool to possibly make the overall shape taller (or shorter).

This animation is using AICS6, but it's the same steps in AICC.

Here's how I'd do it.... no guess work....

Draw an oval

Use Object > Path > Add Anchor Points to add additional anchor points to the oval. -- Added anchors are always positioned exactly midway between existing anchors.

Use the Direct Selection Tool to move the top anchor upward

Use the Convert Anchor Point Tool to move the Bezier handles of the top anchor down, Hold the Shift key down to ensure the handles are 90Ã‚Â° vertical from their anchor. And move them both so the handle is in the same position under the anchor.

Finally use the Free Transform Tool to possibly make the overall shape taller (or shorter).

This animation is using AICS6, but it's the same steps in AICC.

Try to use pen tool instead of the curve tool.
Draw the half side of the shape.
Copy the shape, and flip it and join the lines to complete the shape.
