Soaring to 828 meters (2,717 ft) with 163 floors, the Burj Khalifa has held multiple records since 2010: tallest building, tallest free‑standing structure, and highest observation deck.
Available levels: standard ‘At The Top’ (124 & 125), premium ‘At The Top SKY’ (148), and the exclusive ‘The Lounge’ (152–154). Each differs in amenities, capacity, and price.
Sunset slots (typically 16:00–18:00) cost more but deliver magical golden light. Book early — they sell out quickly.
Combo tickets with other attractions (Fountain shows, Aquarium, city tours) offer strong value for first‑time visitors.
Flexible cancellation is often available — look for options that allow rescheduling for weather or plan changes.

I created this guide to help you experience the Burj Khalifa like a local — with timing tips, ticket advice, and ways to get the most from the world’s tallest tower.
Most tickets allow free cancellation within 24–48 hours. Premium formats may differ — always check the policy before booking.
Groups of 10+ can request special rates by contacting the group sales team in advance. Schools and tour operators have dedicated channels, extra discounts, and even private elevator options.
Dress comfortably and modestly — Dubai appreciates discretion. Cover shoulders and knees. Air‑conditioning is strong, so bring a light layer even in summer.
Security screening is thorough — allow time and avoid bulky items. Small cameras and phones are fine; professional gear may require permits.
Sunset (prime time) costs more, but the views are magical and crowds can be lighter than midday. If budget allows, it’s the most memorable experience.
Have your booking confirmation and ID ready at check‑in. Non‑residents may be asked for a passport. Children must be accompanied by adults on the decks.
