Purchase Tickets in Advance
- Buy your tickets online before you go to avoid long queues and the possibility of tickets being sold out, especially during peak tourist seasons.
- For a special experience, book tickets for the 148th floor lounge to enjoy the world's highest observation deck.
Choose Your Visit Time Carefully
- For the best photos, head up during golden hours — just after sunrise or before sunset. The lighting is magical for photography at these times.
- If you're keen on witnessing the Dubain cityscape at night, an evening visit is a must, to see the city lights sparkle.
Getting There
- Burj Khalifa is accessible by public transport, including the Dubai Metro. The Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station is your stop, from which a pedestrian walkway connects to the tower.
- Parking can be tricky, so it's recommended to opt for a taxi or public transport rather than driving.
- Check Google Maps for an optimal route to the Burj Khalifa from your location.
What to Wear
- Dress comfortably for the weather but also remember that modesty is key in Dubai; ensure your attire respects local customs.
- Comfortable walking shoes are a must as there will be some walking involved inside the building and surrounding areas.
Be Camera-Ready

- Consider taking a selfie stick – it might be helpful for capturing the sweeping landscapes and cityscapes.
