About the Burj Khalifa
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.

What to expect when visiting the Burj Khalifa
From ground to clouds in under 60 seconds — here’s how your journey unfolds:
After security, a multimedia pre‑show charts Dubai’s evolution from fishing village to megacity. Then ride one of the world’s fastest elevators at 10 m/s — the motion is barely noticeable as the floor numbers fly by.
Stepping onto the deck takes your breath away — floor‑to‑ceiling glass and visibility up to 95 km on clear days. Spot Palm Jumeirah, the World Islands, the Arabian Gulf, and the endless desert. Interactive viewers and displays help you locate landmarks. Take your time, alternate indoor and outdoor terraces, and don’t miss sunset as the city lights up like a sea of stars.

Cancellation Policy
Most tickets allow free cancellation within 24–48 hours. Premium formats may differ — always check the policy before booking.
Group Discounts
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.
Important Booking Information
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.
