Full Description
Sky Views Observatory in Downtown Dubai
Sky Views Dubai is a pair of towers linked by a bridge in the heart of Downtown Dubai, which include the Address Sky View hotel, and its observatory sits on the upper levels at around 220 metres. The location puts it a short walk from the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall, with a direct view over the Dubai Fountain and the boulevard below.
If you are looking for Sky Views Dubai tickets, you should know the observatory offers a different perspective from the Burj Khalifa deck. You look at the Burj Khalifa rather than from it, which gives you photographs with the world's tallest tower in the frame, and there are fewer visitors at most times.
The Glass Slide
The glass slide is a transparent slide that runs down the side of the building, so you slide over a drop of many metres with the city visible beneath you. It is short and quick, and rides are timed so that you go in small groups. Staff give you safety instructions before you go.
Many visitors ask whether the glass slide is scary. It is more of a thrill than a terror for most people, but if you are afraid of heights you may prefer to enjoy the observatory views only. Your default ticket includes the slide, and the Edge Walk option replaces or adds a different kind of adventure.
The Edge Walk
The Edge Walk is an outdoor experience where you are clipped to a safety harness and walk hands-free around the edge of the tower at a height of around 220 metres. Guides give a briefing, and you finish with a strong sense of accomplishment as well as photographs.
This option suits confident adventurers and has age, weight and health requirements, so check the booking panel details. It is not for people with a fear of heights, heart problems or pregnancy. Choose the Edge Walk when you want more than a viewing platform.
Getting There and the Best Time to Visit
For anyone asking how to get to Sky Views Dubai, take the metro to Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall and walk through the covered walkway to Dubai Mall, then follow the signs to Sky Views on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard. Taxis can drop you at the tower entrance.
The ideal moment to go is late afternoon into sunset, so you see the city in daylight and then lit up. Weekday mornings are quieter, and hazy days can reduce the view, so check the forecast. Opening hours change by season, so check your date in the booking panel.
