Ascend to Level 124 of the Burj Khalifa for a sweeping 360° view of Dubai, then descend for a three-course dinner at one of the tower’s restaurants. This combination pairs skyline sightlines with an elegant meal — best timed for sunset or evening fountain shows.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the lift and the city exhales beneath you — a grid of glass, light and motion folded into the night. From Level 124 the observation deck opens a 360° panorama: the Dubai Fountain curls like an ink-black river punctuated by jets, the desert horizon sits low and bleached, and the city’s geometry sharpens into streets and towers. The elevator ride itself is its own thrill, a vertical rush that ends with glass and steel framing the sky.

Conservation
Downtown Dubai relies heavily on engineered landscaping and high energy systems; minimize single-use plastics and use public transit to reduce your visit’s footprint.
Reserve your spot on the Enjoy Dinner at Burj Khalifa Restaurants With Floor 124th Tickets today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book a sunset slot
Reserve the observation deck and dinner around sunset to catch daylight-to-night transitions and the Dubai Fountain lighting.
Bring ID and booking confirmation
Security requires ID and electronic or printed tickets for both the deck and restaurant — have them ready to speed entry.
Allow extra time for downtown traffic
Plan at least 30–45 extra minutes for arrival during peak hours; valet or Dubai Metro to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall reduces risk of delay.
Check window reflections for photos
Interior lights can reflect on glass; step back from the pane or use a lens hood to reduce glare for night shots.
Valid ID or passport
Required for security and restaurant reservations in Dubai.
Comfortable shoes
You’ll stand and walk on flat indoor surfaces and across the Dubai Mall concourse.
Camera or smartphone with good low-light capability
Evening views and fountain shows photograph best with decent low-light performance.
Light layer or shawl
Air conditioning inside the tower and restaurants can feel cool compared to outside heat.
