Opening Hours, Tickets, and Location

Burj Khalifa is open 24 hours for the public to visit, however, it is easier to go in the early morning or evening to avoid the crowd. There are 163 floors in the tower, and some floors are restricted. Ticket prices can vary based on what experiences you’re willing to try but start from around AED 154. It is located at the heart of the city in downtown Dubai, close to many hotel suits in Dubai, such as the famous Oaks Liwa Heights.

Dining and Exclusives

You can choose to dine at the top restaurants with gorgeous sunset views or nightlights. At.mosphere, Armani Amal, Armani Hashi, Armani Lounge, and the Armani Deli are some of the famous restaurants on the property. You will also find exclusive experiences for sunset hours and irresistible combo packages with desert safari or aquarium visits.

Observation Decks         

The observation decks are the most popular, to enjoy unparallel views of the city. There are upper and lower decks called ‘At the Top’, and ‘Top SKY’ the latter being the highest. You will experience a price difference for these two experiences, as the lower deck costs 149 AED, and the upper 378. You can purchase these tickets at the main ticket counter.
