Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world, rising 828 meters high—an imposing symbol of Dubai that redefines the limits of modern architecture and luxury.
The skyscraper is open every day of the year, generally from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM, although the last entry is usually one hour before closing. Tourist access is not through the tower itself, but via the Lower Ground level of Dubai Mall.
Prices vary from AED 179 (standard level) to more than AED 500 (VIP access to the 148th floor), depending on the time and level you choose. It is highly recommended to buy tickets online on the official website to secure your spot and avoid higher box-office prices.
To enjoy the views from floors 124 and 125 without rushing, we recommend allowing about 90 minutes in total. If you choose the SKY experience on the 148th floor or stop at The Lounge, the visit can easily extend to two hours.
At 828 meters, it is the tallest man-made structure and an icon of modern engineering, inaugurated in 2010. Its design is inspired by the geometry of the Hymenocallis flower and represents Dubai’s transformation from an oil-based economy into a global tourism powerhouse.
Sunset hours (generally from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM) are the most popular because they let you see the city in daylight, watch the sunset, and enjoy the city lights coming on. If you want a quieter experience and cleaner photos without crowds, the best option is early in the morning (9:00 AM).
Yes, the 'At the Top' levels are fully accessible for visitors with reduced mobility and wheelchair users. There are elevators and ramps to ensure all visitors can enjoy the panoramic views.
You are in the very heart of the city: once you come down, you can enjoy the Dubai Fountain show and explore the vast Dubai Mall. The impressive Dubai Opera is also very close and well worth a visit.
Leave large backpacks at your hotel or at the free luggage storage near the entrance, as they are not allowed upstairs. To enrich your visit and better understand what you are seeing from above, it is ideal to have an audio guide downloaded on your phone.
