A new angle on Downtown Dubai
Address Sky View is a pair of towers beside The Dubai Mall, directly opposite the Burj Khalifa. A sky bridge joins the two towers near the top, and the Sky Views Observatory sits on levels 52 and 53, about 219.5 metres above the ground. It opened to the public in November 2021.
A glass lift takes you up to a two-storey viewing deck with 360-degree views. From there you can cross a glass-floored sky bridge and ride a glass slide between level 53 and level 52. The Edge Walk is the extra step: a hands-free walk around the outside ledge of the building, billed as the first of its kind in the region.
The deck is lower than the Burj Khalifa’s observation decks, but you look straight at the tower instead of standing inside it, and the Dubai Fountain performs below in the evening.

Three ways to see it from above
Start with the observatory, then add the thrill you want. Each step up is optional.
Sky Views Observatory
A two-storey viewing deck reached by glass lift, with 360-degree views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai and the Arabian Gulf.
Glass-floored sky bridge
A walkway between the two towers with a see-through floor. Access is included in the observatory ticket.
Glass slide
A short slide between level 53 and level 52. Some tickets include one ride and others add it separately, so check the option you book.
Edge Walk
A hands-free walk on the outer ledge at about 220 m, with safety equipment. Personal cameras are generally not allowed, and photos can be bought afterwards.
Sunset views
Late afternoon gives golden light over Downtown and is the busiest period, so book a slot ahead.
Easy to combine
The Dubai Mall, Dubai Aquarium and the Dubai Fountain are all within a short walk.
