More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the elevator and the city opens: a grid of lights, the Dubai Fountain glimmering below, and the Persian Gulf pressing the horizon. On Level 124 of the Burj Khalifa the air feels charged — the glass-walled observation deck gives you a 360° vantage point from roughly 452 meters above street level, and the skyline seems to lean toward you.
