Burj Khalifa: SKY Level 148, 124 & 125 entry

Skip-the-line access to all three of the Burj Khalifa’s public decks, led off by the calmer SKY Level 148 — the highest observation deck in the world — with a lounge, refreshments and an ambassador introduction included.

About 1 hour 30 minutesFrom €95

The experience

The Burj Khalifa’s three observation decks in one visit, skipping the ground-floor queue entirely.

At 555 metres, the Burj Khalifa is still the tallest building in the world, and this ticket covers all three of its public decks: the calmer, less-crowded SKY Level 148 — the highest observation deck on Earth — followed by Levels 124 and 125 lower down. A skip-the-line route through security and the elevator avoids the queue that forms at ground level.

The visit begins in the SKY Lounge with a short introduction from a guest ambassador, refreshments and a seat with a view before heading up. Specially designed projections accompany the ascent, and telescopes on each deck pick out landmarks across the city and the Gulf beyond.

A sunset slot is worth booking ahead if the light matters to you — it is the ticket’s most requested option. On the way back down, a ground-floor exhibition traces the tower’s construction, with testimony from the people who designed and built it.

Who this suits

A good choice when it matches the way you want to use the city.

  • A first Dubai skyline view done properly, without the ground-floor ticket queue.

  • A booked sunset slot, for the fountain and skyline as the light changes.
