Ride a glass elevator to the 52nd floor for panoramic views of Dubai, cross a 46m glass bridge, take a glass slide and try the Edge Walk — a compact, high-adrenaline city vantage point. Ideal at sunset and accessible with hotel transfers included.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stepping into the glass elevator feels like boarding a capsule that climbs through the heart of Dubai’s skyline — windows framing Burj Khalifa like a vertical horizon. At the 52nd floor the city opens: a lattice of light, salt-flat coastline and the deliberate geometry of towers. The 45–46m glass link between twin towers tilts your attention outward; the glass slide from 52 to 53 is a quick, bright drop, and the Edge Walk pushes a quiet pulse as you lean into exposure with the Gulf wind at your back.
