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. – Tripadvisor

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.

- Pickles-mumJersey, United Kingdom71 contributionsJust Awe InspiringHad a great morning - headed here early - was tempted by the idea of going later to see the sunset/darkness/lights but the promise of short queues early was a winner and we hardly queued. Saw so much and we learnt alot. A must do for a Dubai trip.Visited July 2023Written July 29, 2023
- Jason BLowestoft, United Kingdom237 contributionsAmazing viewsAmazing views. We paid for the 148 floor access and definitely worth it. A lot less queueing (and we had booked for 6.30pm with the standard queues still very long) The views were amazing make sure you go to the viewing area where you can take pictures without looking through the glass. Can easily be missed.Visited May 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten August 1, 2023
- ViviMilanItaly8 contributionsNiceWe came on holiday in Dubai so we thought we have to do this, so we said if we ever come here, we will come here and we did. It was okay We paid a lot to get in here as we went VIP to level 148 which is the highest you can go and then you can go up and down all the floors and stay for a few hours. On some of the floors is snacks and drinks which you can help yourself and then just leave when you want. Probably wouldn't come here again as once you have done it you don't really want go backVisited August 2023Written August 2, 2023

- sue fGeelong, Australia112 contributionsGrat Shopping and viewThis is a place you should go to see, there is the Shopping Mall attached to this building, in my opinion it is a better place than Dubai Mall to shop in. There is a Ski field that you will not believe until you see it. Make sure you go to the Cheese Cake Factory and sit by the window looking into the ski park.Visited August 2023Written August 13, 2023
- Sapphire4New York City, New York157 contributionsVisited Burj Khalifa in July 2023Visited Burj Khalif in July 2023. It cost me about 240 Dirhams. I went to the 123 rd Floor. From the top I look down and saw the desert landscape just like Mission Impossible 4. The best time to visit Dubai is November - March. I went there in July . It was about 44 Degree Celcius. So that was pretty hot weather. About 80% of the visitors were Indian.Burj Khalia does not have a seperate exit. You haveto take Dubai Mall exit and go underground to Burj Khalifa.Visited June 2023Written August 14, 2023
- Jahangir UIzmir, Türkiye2 contributionsOur trip to the Burj and Dubai mallIt's a building and lots to do at the mall...so many options to ear but they was charging way too much to basically take a left to the top floor and view the city what was even more shocking they was charging alot to even go up half way up the burj. Its should be a free service so people can enjoy the sights. We'll atleast you'll see the dancing fountain for free 6-11pm we saw it around 6.30pm but it's better to view it when it gets dark. Also there are any vendors outside where the dancing fountain is including a Turkish ice dude which is fun...Visited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten August 16, 2023
- TripaftercovidHong Kong, China13 contributionsGreat view but a bit expensiveIt is a great experience to travel in the tallest building in the world. You may enjoy the view on the 125th floor. You may also see the water dance of Dubai Fountain, too. However, it is a bit expensive to the top of Burj Khalifa.Visited June 2023Travelled soloWritten August 24, 2023

We went at 6:30pm, and with timed tickets you’d think it wouldn’t be crowded but it was! So be aware if you have smaller kids that don’t like being amongst crowds. We were here about 9 years ago and it didn’t feel this crowded then. Lovely views finally after the weather dust cleared up. Better views at night in my opinion.

I had read other reviews and was worried that too much overcrowding might make this visit a challenge but I booked a ticket for a Wednesday at 12:30, arrived at 12:00, was allowed in straightaway and it wasn’t busy at all. It was only the photographers that were annoying.
As I hadn’t been in Dubai long, I didn’t know how much value I would get out of the view as I wouldn’t recognise much. But I could see the fountain show location, the overpass I had walked through to get from the metro to the mall and further in the distance I could see the Dubai ‘frame’ - one of the pieces of architecture I had discovered so far.
If you’ve travelled to Dubai Mall from the metro you will be on Level 2, so make your way down to LG. It seems that if you want to get to the top, you must start at the bottom! Symbolism?
It remained fairly uncrowded until a large group of children with ‘Summer Camp’ T-shirts piled in, pushing and shoving, yelling, taking souvenirs from the gift shops and running around with them, swearing and/or giving each other the finger.
They also seemed to bring in snacks and within half an hour, the floors (which had been sparkly clean) were covered in chips and crumbs etc. So that was a shame.
I felt sorry for the Burj Khalifa staff having to put up with that, but I don’t hold it against the staff supervising the children because goodness knows you aren’t really allowed to discipline them anymore.

Ok. This was exactly that. Ok. During my time of visit it is extremely humid limiting your view. However I would recommend returning in the winter where the weather is more tolerable permitting clearer views. Still at least you can say you’ve been up the words tallest building! An achievement at the most. I would also do the VR of mission 282. It’s worth it!

If I book a ticket for 0900, how can I get there? The website says the Dubai Mall doesn't open until 1000, and neither does the footbridge from the metro station. Thanks
Written May 11, 2024
Honestly I don't remember one as that's usually something we would do. It's very busy and crowded so you're probably better going back to the mall and finding a cafe that overlooks the fountains shows like Joe's.

Yes, you can buy tea, coffee and cold drinks.

Hi,
Should the card holder whom had purchased the online tickets need to be present with his photo ID and original card for collecting tickets or someone else on his/her behalf can bring the same ?
Written December 18, 2023
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!
Written June 5, 2023
Ciao, personalmente ti sconsiglio dalla barchetta! Se vuoi fare un giro su una di esse, fallo a prescindere dai fuochi, ma per il gusto di vedere le splendide fontane da vicino!

Hi, I booked my burj khalifa ticket for 3 people. It asked me to enter only one name and now I have 3 adult tickets with 1 guest name on all three. Would it be a problem or I can enter with my friends without any issues?
Written May 24, 2023
You should have no problem entering with your friends. The name on the ticket is primarily for booking purposes. As long as you have valid tickets for all three guests, you can enter without any issues.
