At about 828 metres, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world – and standing on its observation deck, looking down on skyscrapers that seem tiny, is the moment most visitors remember from Dubai. Here’s how to plan your Burj Khalifa visit.
- Height: about 828 m, the world’s tallest building
- Observation decks: Levels 124 and 125 (“At the Top”) and Level 148 (“At the Top Sky”)
- Best time: just before sunset
- In our Dubai package: Level 124 visit on Day 4
Which floor should you choose?
- Levels 124 and 125: the main observation decks with indoor and outdoor viewing areas. Perfect for most families and first-time visitors.
- Level 148: a premium experience with a lounge, refreshments and fewer people, at a higher price.
Our Dubai package includes the 124th floor, which gives you the classic view over Downtown Dubai, the desert and the sea.
Best time to go
- Sunset slots are the most popular because you see the city in daylight, at golden hour and at night. They cost more and sell out early.
- Morning slots are quieter, with clear views on many days.
- Haze: in summer, dust can reduce visibility – winter months are clearer.
Tips for your visit
- Arrive 30 minutes before your slot – entry is through Dubai Mall.
- Security check is like an airport; avoid large bags.
- Photography: the outdoor terrace on Level 124 has fewer reflections.
- Accessibility: lifts take you all the way up – suitable for seniors.
Dubai Fountain and Dubai Mall
- Dubai Fountain: a free show at the foot of the Burj Khalifa every evening, roughly every 30 minutes, with water jets set to music.
- Dubai Mall: one of the world’s biggest malls, with the Dubai Aquarium, an ice rink and hundreds of shops.
