Which Burj Khalifa observation deck should you book?
Burj Khalifa’s At the Top experiences cover three levels or groups of levels, with different features at each. Compare the inclusions before choosing a ticket.
Levels 124 and 125
At the Top on Levels 124 and 125 is an observation-deck experience at 456 metres, with an outdoor terrace.
Level 148
The Level 148 experience includes a guided tour, access to Levels 124 and 125, and an exclusive outdoor terrace. It also offers refreshments, Wi-Fi, and a virtual-reality experience.
Levels 152, 153, and 154
These levels form a lounge experience 585 metres above the city, with canapés, a tour, and refreshments.
Dubai Mall places At the Top, Burj Khalifa on its Lower Ground Floor. If you’re arriving by car, P1 Fashion Parking serves the attraction.
What can you combine with Dubai Mall and the fountain area?
Pair your observation-deck visit with time in Dubai Mall and the outdoor fountain area. The mall’s Metro link bridge gives you a direct connection between the station and the mall, so you can plan the visit around that entry point.
For a different side of the city, Al Fahidi and Dubai Creek offer an Old Dubai route rather than Downtown’s mall and tower.
A practical sequence for your visit
Use the Metro link bridge as your arrival point, then follow the mall’s directions to At the Top on the Lower Ground Floor. After the observation deck, spend time in the mall before heading to the fountain area.
This order keeps the indoor and outdoor parts of the visit together without requiring a separate transfer between the station and Dubai Mall. If you’re driving, P1 Fashion Parking serves At the Top.
