Decision guide

Which Ticket Is Right for You?

Families with children

Levels 124 and 125 at an off-peak time. You get the full panorama at the lowest cost, and morning slots are often calmer. Check child ticket categories in the listing.

Photographers

A slot before sunset on either experience. Level 148 offers more space at the glass. Read our sunset timing guide before you choose.

Couples and special occasions

At the Top SKY for a quieter, hosted visit. The Lounge if you want a seated hospitality experience and it is available for your date.

Short on time

A standard At the Top ticket with fast-track entry, if offered. Combine it with dinner in Downtown or the evening fountain shows.

About The Lounge (Levels 152 to 154)

The Lounge occupies the highest levels open to visitors. It is a separate hospitality product with its own pricing, time slots and conditions, which may include age restrictions and a dress code. It usually includes access to the lower observation levels as well.

The ticket widget on this site shows Burj Khalifa experiences from our partner Tiqets. The Lounge can only be booked here if a matching listing appears in the widget. Otherwise, it is sold by the attraction operator directly.
