Located
in downtown of the city and just a minute away from Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa is one of the most visited and must-see places in Dubai. On its 163 floors are located offices, apartments and worldwide famous Armani Hotel.
Dubai metro is fastest and most convenient type of transport in the city, thus metro station Dubai Mall/Burj Khalifa (Number 25) of red line will be perfect place to start
your journey. After metro, just take air-conditioned corridor to Dubai
Mall (around 10 minutes walk) where you need to go to ground floor to the
main entrance of Burj Khalifa.
All
visitors, who would like to visit the world's tallest building should buy ticket online or at ticket counter at the main
entrance. We recommend you to buy your ticket online, as you will save up to 25%
and will have opportunity to choose most convenient date and time of
visit. Due to high interest from tourists to visit the observation deck of Burj Khalifa named "At The Top", there are plenty of moments that all tickets are sold out for couple
of upcoming days and ticket counters by main entrance of Burj Khalifa are closed. Buying your ticket online will give you discount as well as confirmed
ticket in any available time and date for you.

If you would like to experience having some tea or coffee with pastries on a great altitude- it will be possible to realize it as well. Although "At The Top" is located in 124th floor, visitors who choose option with refreshments during the online booking, will have access to Burj Khalifa SKY on 148th floor (555 meters). Guests of Burj Khalifa SKY can stay at level 148 for up to 30 minutes before continuing their journey to level 125 (452 meters), where they can stay as long as they prefer. The average time that you would spend to enjoy "At the Top" is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
