About
Standing over 2,700 feet and 163 floors high, this record-breaking skyscraper in downtown Dubai is the tallest structure in the world. Burj Khalifa has several open-air viewing decks and swanky lounges which offer splendid views of the UAE and the Persian Gulf. The highest lounge is located at level 154, and there is even a hotel at levels 38 and 39. Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architects, this mixed-used development atop Dubai Mall is inspired by the Great Mosque of Samarra in Iraq.
You might want to buy skip-the-line tickets or join a tour to avoid snaking queues at this popular attraction in Dubai.

Top ways to experience Burj Khalifa
The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown Dubai
You can’t fail to miss Dubai’s iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. It towers over the city and resides in the prestigious Downtown development. Once an old army base, Downtown is now the jewel in Dubai’s crown, a beautiful residential and leisure area housing not only the world’s tallest building, but the world’s largest fountains and mall. Wide marble sidewalks are perfect for strolling, with restaurants, art galleries and children’s play areas. Specially commissioned sculptures line the roads and Downtown is often used as a canvas for modern art displays and community events such as Classic Car Shows and National Day parades. In the cooler months, cross one of the many bridges to the Burj Khalifa park and enjoy a picnic alongside residents and visitors, or enjoy a lunch or dinner watch the dancing fountains. Because of its mixed use, Downtown is a fantastic place to mix with Dubai residents and locals and watch real life unfold in a cosmopolitan environment.

- Streamer777New Brunswick, Canada10 contributionsThis building is not a tower, but a combination building with a tower on top.When reviewing media sites regarding this structure, it is included with towers as being the tallest tower. This is false as combination buildings should be excluded from the list. The base is even much wider than a tower and people usually do not live in towers, but combination skyscrapers. It might be the tallest building to the top of the building without the actual tower. Labeling it as the tallest tower in the world is false and misleading. Very disappointed.Visited November 2022Written 4 December 2022
- Agha KhanCalifornia2 contributionsGuys Rooftop View is just Mind Blowing🙃The tallest building of world, what a view from the top especially tourists should go at Roof top just 15 minutes before Sunset and then you will be able to see the sun going down and experience a very special moment. There is paid ticket to visit the roof top and high speed lift takes you to the top in almost 2 minutes. The view from the top is mind blowing and that paid ticket is worth it🤩Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 5 December 2022
- FluffyBluebirdCardiff, United Kingdom200 contributionsBreath taking viewsWe recently visited the Burj Khalifa and we paid extra to skip the queue….well worth the extra. It literally only took just over 60 seconds to get to the 125th floor then we swapped to another lift that took us to the 148th floor. As part of our trip we had a guide who explained some of the history and background to the building of the tower….refreshments were included and we were free to view from all the different sides of the building as well as standing on an external viewing platform….scary and incredible at the same time. Whilst we were there, we had an ideal view of the Dubai fountains from above. Truly spectacularVisited November 2022Written 5 December 2022
- Wendy GJersey, United Kingdom554 contributionsStunningOne of the best towers to visit . Pay the extra to go to the 154 floor , views are amazing . Drinks and nibbles on offer. 152 floor you can go outside, a must . A certain must when visiting Dubai .Visited December 2022Written 12 December 2022
- NelsonNewmarket, Canada82 contributionsTallest building in the world worth the price? EhhTL:DR it is an incredible world record for engineering and architecture, and for that alone it's worth visiting. However, the tour was barebones, and the price was way too expensive for what is basically an admission ticket into the building. None of the services felt worth the money spent. The view from the top floors were amazing, but in the end you must realize that you are in a desert. It is essentially just small buildings, a coastline, and sand as far as the eye can see. This is if you go in a good day, because it's so high that often your view will be cloudy or not clear. I actually went twice because of this, and please, don't make my mistake of spending that money twice! I honestly feel like if you are in a high-rise hotel, you are already experiencing a very similar view. Unless you are close to the ground during your stay in Dubai, I don't think I can recommend spending money to go up Burj Khalifa. Overall, it's an incredible building! Not even in 10 lifetimes could I understand how it was built or what it took to build it. I respect that. However, was it worth my money? No, I don't think so. Dubai is an expensive place and unless you can wipe your *** with $100 bills, you should still budget accordingly through the luxuries. There are other more exciting or educational options in this city than a tour through this building. It is a very subjective choice to visit this or not.Visited July 2022Written 12 December 2022
- Haytham Abu FirasQatar14,377 contributionsThe tallestYou can’t fail to miss Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. In resides in a prestigious location of Dubai downtown. Many options to visit but need to queue for long. Most of good offers ticket will be sold out fast. Online booking is recommended. At least if you visit Dubai Mall, watch The Dancing Fountain and take a photo of the wonderful Burj Khalifa.Visited December 2022Travelled with friendsWritten 20 December 2022
- hanknIsrael247 contributionsA must see when in DubaiWe had booked for 10:30 but were early which was lucky since by 10:30 the line was starting to get dense. Recommended to get there before 10:00 to avoid major lines. Ride up to 124 floor is 30 seconds. Views are of course spectacular. Lines for elevator also to go down.Visited December 2022Written 22 December 2022
- jerrold61321 contributionsBurj KhalifaA must-do experience in Dubai. Probably best to book tickets through a tour operator to ensure a good price and timely experience. While there, certainly visit the Dubai shopping mall, the Burj Park, and if at night, the Dubai fountain. You can also take a peek at the indoor skating rink.Visited December 2022Written 22 December 2022
- MLancs28 contributionsVIP is a must - highly recommend.Fantastic visit with unbelievable views. Worth the VIP ticket for the 148th floor which is very chic with tea and cakes. The outdoor balcony was great with just ourselves on it. Not sure if we were lucky but it was very quiet and civilised; we shared the views with only a handful of people and we stayed up there for as long as we wanted. The lift was quick and comfortable. We were very well looked after and the overall experience was fantastic. Incidentally the ticket also covers entry into the aquarium and the underwater zoo (and you bypass any queues).Visited December 2022Travelled with familyWritten 22 December 2022

Overpriced! Overrated and not enjoyable!
Went to the 8.30 pm viewing. The place was hectic! As paying customers you were herded around like sheep by the none friendly staff , standing in long queues inside and then hoarded into an overcrowded lift. Not enough lifts for the experience. poor visibility once at the floor . Not my idea of a relaxing activity!!

Great place.
Possibly would book fast track if we knew how long queues were but staff did what they could to reduce them.
All staff really friendly.
Amazing building and probably remains a must see.
While there check out the mall with an aquarium, ice rink, fountain shows etc

Say no to the photographers if you want. Choose the earliest or latest slots and you will most probably get away with not buying a fast track ticket. We did this and got there 30 minutes early and had no problems. You can watch the availability on the booking site to see how crowded it is. I don't think there is a lot of difference between the 148th. and 152? floor, especially at night. If you do get a fast track ticket and you are in a queue make sure the guide sees your fast track badge. The complimentary drink is a joke.

Last time I was here over 10 years ago I remember coming on same day, bought my ticket to the top, went right up, BUT NOW totally different ballgame huge amounts of people on day of and for the most part you won't go up unless willing to spend much more than the average rate of 169 aed ($40).
Definitely fantastic views from the top of this beautifully structured building and looking down thinking how amazing Tom Cruise was to dangle 143 stories up.
Unfortunately I couldn't see Palm Islands

Definitely if you were to do one thing in Dubai, it’s this. You have panoramic views of the night scenery from the top. Definitely best visited at night rather than the day as the view is better. Queues are quite long, best buy tickets online, I got ours on Get Your Guide.

In spite of the fact that we don't suggest encountering it the manner in which Tom Voyage did in "Mission: Unimaginable - Phantom Convention," the Burj Khalifa is a critical thing on any Dubai plan. Transcending the city (that is an incredible 160 stories), the Burj Khalifa gladly holds the title of "world's tallest structure." However that is not by any means the only title this pinnacle has added to its repertoire. The Burj Khalifa is additionally the tallest unsupported construction on the planet and home to the most noteworthy open air perception deck on the planet. You understand what that implies: dazzling perspectives. Guests are welcome to ride the lift to the 124th floor for amazing city vistas stretching out completely out to the Persian Bay. Exceptional telescopes likewise show scenes of the city from various moments, permitting you to encounter each phase of Dubai's set of experiences. You can likewise venture out higher to the 148th floor, the world's most elevated perception deck, however it will cost you extra.
Voyager surveys were blended for the world's tallest structure. From one viewpoint, guests say it's an unquestionable requirement essentially for its undeniably popular differentiation, yet then again, a viewed the fascination as overrated with dreary perspectives. A couple of tips: In the event that you to choose to go on an outing to the top, book ahead of time since they sell out rapidly. In the event that you would be able, plan your visit around nightfall: As per voyagers, the breathtaking perspectives more than compensate for the significant delay to the top.
The Burj Khalifa overshadows downtown Dubai and is effectively open from the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Shopping center metro station. You can visit the perception deck from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. day to day (last passage is 45 minutes prior to shutting). Affirmation costs rely upon the time you go, yet broad confirmation during off-top hours is 135 dirhams (around $37) for grown-ups and 100 dirhams (generally $27) for kids ages 4 to 12. To get to the 148th floor, tickets start at 370 dirhams (about $100) for the two grown-ups and youngsters. To find out more, visit the Burj Khalifa site

We went to the Burj Khalifa, and it was amazing! The view from the top was like being on the tallest tower in the world. We could see the whole city and even the desert. Going up was easy, and the people there were nice and helpful. The Burj Khalifa is really special and worth a visit if you're in Dubai. It gives you an awesome view of everything around

As we approached the downtown area of Dubai, coming from Abu Dhabi, I caught a glimpse of this attraction from the distance. It looked like a pencil to me.
As we got nearer to it, I realized how big and tall it was. We spent a lot of time here, taking many pictures of this building as well as the sculptures near it, the lake, the views of the other buildings near by.
We simply enjoyed the ambience, watched people posing here and there, felt the excitement of the place!

Подскажите, если оплачивает один человек, а посещает другой, проблем не возникнет? Просят ли какие-то подтверждения или только qr код (там указывается имя туриста?)? А то сейчас проблемно купить билет заранее онлайн, да ещё и сервис требует вводить данные владельца карты, а не туриста.

Salve, a capodanno vorrei andare a Dubai e assicurarmi in anticipo di poter vedere i fuochi d'artificio del Burj Khalifa da buona posizione.
Qualcuno sa darmi qualche suggerimento?
Esiste la possibilità, ad esempio, di prenotare in anticipo un posto in barca sul laghetto delle Dubai mall Fountain? Oppure esiste qualche altra modalità?
Grazie a chiunque vorrà e potrà aiutarmi!

Trovati una posizione migliore. Il giro in barca sul laghetto fallo solo per vedere lo spettacolo delle fontane. Si è troppo sotto il Burj e non puoi vedere i fuochi d'artificio nel totale della loro bellezza.
Can we buy tickets at the counter with cash?

Bonsoir, je dirais réservation pour 16h30 serait très bien pour un coucher de soleil vers 17h30. Vous pouvez rester le temps que vous souhaitez la haut. Il est nécessaire de réserver par internet pour être prioritaire.
Belle vue à vous mais tout dépendra de la visibilité.
