The Burj Khalifa experience begins from the elevator ride
The experience of visiting the Burj Khalifa is broken down into two levels: Level 125 and Level 148. There are two different packages, you can check which one suits you best online.
First you pass through a corridor displaying all the stages of the construction of the Burj Khalifa until you reach the high-speed elevator which will take you up to the observatory deck on the 124th floor.
The ride takes exactly one-minute. You can experience it for yourself by watching the video below.
Level 124-125
As the elevator doors will slide open you will find yourself standing in front of floor-to-ceiling glass walls which open up to 360-degrees view of the city, reaching far out into the desert.
If you opt for the Level 124 package you will also get access to level 125 which is connected with a 36 step oak wood staircase, illuminated by an impressive crystal LED chandelier.
There are telescopes available on both level 124 and 125 featuring full HD camera with high zoom to explore the city from the sky.
There is a souvenir shop on level 125 and you can also send a postcard right from the Top of Burj Khalifa, there is a postbox available.
If you do decide to go for the Level 148 package, there is a special elevator which takes you up to 555 meters where you will witness Dubai from the highest observatory deck in the world.
The At the Top of Burj Khalifa tour usually lasts 1.5 hours however you can stay as long as you like.
Booking your visit online
There are two options: the non-prime hours and prime-hours which are priced differently. If you go to by the ticket on the spot they will usually tell you that it’s fully booked and there is only the expensive package which is at AED500 (approximately 120 EUR). If you have booked online you can pay AED 125 (approximately 30 EUR) during non-prime hours.
Tip: Burj Khalifa gets very busy and on occasions you will not be able to purchase the standard ticket, this is why we recommend that you pre-book your ticket. Save time and money here.
