The tallest building in the world
Burj Khalifa rises 828 metres and 163 floors above Downtown Dubai. It has held the title of the world’s tallest building since it opened in 2010, and its observation decks are one of the best places in the UAE to see the whole city at once.
There are two ways to go up. At The Top takes you to levels 124 and 125, at about 452 and 456 metres, with an indoor and outdoor viewing terrace. The SKY ticket adds level 148, at 555 metres, which is the highest observation deck in the building and a quieter, more premium experience.
Entry is through The Dubai Mall, so you can easily combine your visit with shopping, dinner and the Dubai Fountain show in the evening. Booking a time slot ahead is strongly recommended, especially for sunset.
