There’s no questioning that the Burj Khalifa is one of Dubai’s most famous landmarks. The tallest building in the world can be seen all over the city, but on your first visit, you have not completed the experience of seeing it until you have been inside. The Burj Khalifa, which stands at 828m, is 163 floors high and located in the centre of Downtown Dubai. Since its completion in 2010, it has held the title of the tallest building in the world.
While mostly residences and office spaces, there are many experiences for tourists to have at the Burj Khalifa, spanning from hotel rooms and spas to dinner and drinks in the clouds! There are many exciting ways to tick the Burj Khalifa off your bucket list!
The Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith, of the Chicago-based architectural group Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM). The striking architecture is at the heart of the 2-square-kilometre Downtown Dubai development and showcases a Y-shaped floor plate providing maximum use for both commercial and residential use while also providing excellent structural rigour.
The architects of the tower employed palatable engineering techniques using a concrete core with a structural steel spire to achieve the iconic height. To reduce solar gain and mitigate the extreme heat of the desert, the building’s facade incorporates stainless steel and reflective aluminum cladding. This will promote a more liveable environment for the Armani Hotel, corporate suites, and luxury apartments.
The Burj Khalifa allows you to see stunning views from three observation decks – At the Top, At the Top SKY, and The Lounge. Each deck aims to provide a unique and unforgettable experience while seeing the breathtaking views of Dubai’s skyline and beyond.

The elevator at Burj Khalifa will take you to the observation deck on the 124th floor, located 452 meters above the ground, in one minute. Level 124 has two parts, an open-air viewing deck and an inside area with floor-to-ceiling glass. The highest power telescopes provide clear views of the landscape and landmarks that the city has to offer.
To get to level 125, you can take the stairs to the observation deck, also called “Dubai – A Falcon’s Eye View,” which offers a breathtaking 360-degree view. In addition, there is also a virtual reality game on this level where the glass appears to break beneath you.
