More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned vehicle onto a plaza that hums with water and light; the tower above cuts a straight line into the sky and seems to pull the skyline upward. Inside, elevators rise so quickly they blur city noise into a soft hum; at 456 meters Level 125 opens like a lens on Dubai: glass, patterned Arabic mashrabiya and a wraparound perspective that puts the coastline, islands and desert into a single sweep.

History
Burj Khalifa opened in 2010 and was designed by Adrian Smith (SOM); its height and stepped form reflect both engineering responses to wind and Dubai’s rapid urban expansion.
Conservation
Visitors should minimize waste, respect restricted zones and avoid littering around Burj Lake; the tower operates in an area with high resource use, so small actions like using refillable bottles help lower impact.
Reserve your spot on the Burj Khalifa 124 and 125 Floor Tour with Transport today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Book a sunrise or sunset slot
These windows offer softer light and cooler temperatures; sunset fills the skyline with color but books out fast.
Save your mobile ticket and ID
Tickets are mobile-only and final sale—have your confirmation and passport/ID ready for security checks.
Watch the outdoor terrace exposure
The terrace is brilliant and windy; bring a light layer and secure loose items for photography.
Hydrate and plan for heat
If visiting in summer, minimize outdoor time after the deck and carry water—Dubai heat can be intense even near the tower.
Smartphone or mirrorless camera
Fast autofocus and a wide-angle lens capture the sweeping skyline and fountain sequences.
Light layer or windbreaker
Terrace exposure and evening breezes can feel cool, especially in winter months.
