At the Top Burj Khalifa, Observation deck in Downtown Dubai, UAE.
At the Top Burj Khalifa is a viewpoint on floors 124, 125, and 148 inside the tallest building in the world, from which you can see the city, the desert, and the sea. The terraces are enclosed in glass and offer open views in all directions.
The viewpoint opened in 2010 together with the tower and was at that time the highest platform of its kind in the world. Later, another level was added that sits even higher and allows views of Dubai from new angles.
Visitors from all over the world come here to see Dubai from above and understand how the city has grown. Digital installations show how life in the region has changed and what role modern architecture plays in it.
The floors are reached by fast elevators that travel upward in less than a minute and automatically adjust air pressure on the way. It is best to visit when the weather is clear, as dust and haze can reduce the view.
Special telescopes allow guests to view buildings and places in the city up close and also retrieve old images of the same locations. This way you can see how individual neighborhoods have changed over the years and what used to stand there.
