The Burj Khalifa tower is located in the center of Dubai and is one of the most famous attractions in the world. The tower's height is a record-setting 828 meters, of which 180 meters belong to the longest spire in the world. Back in 2018, the foundation was laid nearby for another tower, Dubai Creek Tower, meant to surpass the Burj Khalifa in height — but the project was frozen shortly after the pandemic began for a design rethink, and as of 2026 construction still hasn't resumed (developer Emaar has announced plans to relaunch the contractor tender, but there's still no firm construction timeline).

Let's go back to the Burj Khalifa. You can take the elevator to the observation deck and enjoy the futuristic landscapes of the city. Tickets can be bought at the box office at the tower, but be prepared for queues - come early.

Ticket prices for floors 124–125 range from AED 174 to AED 235 (≈$47–64, pricier for sunset slots), while the SKY level (148th floor) runs AED 535–730 (≈$146–198). You can also purchase tickets online here.

On the 122nd floor of the tower is the panoramic At.mosphere restaurant, where you can enjoy both the view of the city and a good meal.

But if you want to stay at a hotel located inside the tallest tower in the world, Hotel Armani is the one for you.
