Burj Khalifa At the Top

At 828 metres, the Burj Khalifa dominates the Dubai skyline and is the obvious way to see the city from above. The route starts at Dubai Mall before the high-speed lifts take you up to the observation decks.

On the 124th and 125th floors, a 360-degree panorama opens onto Dubai, its towers, the desert, the Gulf and the artificial islands. Indoor and outdoor viewing areas let you see the city from a completely different angle.

For something more exclusive, some options reach the 148th floor, with access to the VIP lounge and extra services. You can also combine the Burj Khalifa with the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo at Dubai Mall, and carry the experience on underwater.

Several options are available depending on the floors and experiences you want. Pick yours when you book.

Good to know: entry to the Burj Khalifa is free for children under 4, and the aquarium combo for under 3s, subject to the conditions of the option chosen. What is included and which floors you reach depend on that option. Sunset slots are in high demand, so book ahead. Meeting point: Downtown Dubai, through Dubai Mall.

The visit to the observation decks lasts about 90 minutes, whichever option you choose.
