Soaring 828m into the sky, the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world and one of the greatest engineering feats of all time. Completed in 2010, the mighty tower represents the beating heart of Dubai and its brave ambitions. Burj Khalifa’s glass-paneled frame pierces the sky like a rocket, but the view from above reveals its true inspiration.
Burj Khalifa is located next to The Dubai Mall and draws visitors from all over the world to catch the unmatched views from multiple observation decks. For an unparalleled experience, head up to At The Top and At The Top Sky on floors 124 and 125 and enjoy unique 360-degree vistas.
If you are looking to try something lighter such as breakfast or high tea among the clouds at The Lounge, which is spread across floors 152, 153, and 154 (585m high!). But that’s not all. You can find a mixture of attractions and amenities across all 160 stories, including a five-star hotel designed by Giorgio Armani; a luxury spa and fitness club; and the world's tallest art gallery, featuring more than 85 acclaimed artists. Back at ground level is a vibrant hub of entertainment and dining at The Dubai Mall, Burj Plaza and Souk Al Bahar; and, of course, the mesmerizing dancing waters of The Dubai Fountain.
