Burj Khalifa located in Dubai is the tallest building in the world with a total height of 828 meters. At first, this building was known as Burj Dubai but later the name changed to Burj Khalifa. It took about five years for the completion of this iconic and magnificent structure. Whenever you visit Dubai, no matter how busy you are, make sure to take out some time to visit this magnificent building. The very top of Burj Khalifa is its 163rd floor; however, this floor is not accessible to the ordinary public. The highest you can access Burj Khalifa is about 555 meters. The very top of Burj Khalifa which is accessible to the public is known as “at the top sky”. To access the very top of the Burj Khalifa you need to follow a staged procedure discussed below:
Step 1: Purchase a Ticket
To access the very top of Burj Khalifa you need to purchase a ticket first. The tickets are easily available at the observation deck but you can also book the tickets online. Booking the tickets online will save you a lot of your time and will help you to book the perfect and less busy time for your trip in advance. The Ticket price is dependent on visiting hours. For prime hours i.e., between 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM the price of this ticket is slightly higher than its price in other less crowded and general hours. Also, for adults, this ticket costs a little higher than it does for the children under twelve.
Step 2: Wait in a Line
After getting your ticket in your hand you have to wait in a line which is leading to the elevator. Usually, this line is a little long, but while waiting in the line you can get more information about this amazing building’s history by watching interactive displays.
Step 3 # Get In the Elevator
After waiting in a line for some time, and in some cases for some hours, you will enter an elevator. This elevator will take you to “at the top sky”. The Burj Khalifa’s elevators travel at a very fast speed of about 10 meters per second. So the elevator will take you to the top of Burj Khalifa with no waiting required at all.
Step 4: Enjoy the View
After getting off the elevator you will be on the very top of the Burj Khalifa. Enjoy the view of the whole city from the very top and appreciate the beautiful view of the sunset. At the observation deck, telescopes are available so that you can use them to have a closer look at the magnificent beauty of Dubai. These telescopes also have a recorded view that will display both the night and day time view of Dubai. The observation desk is so interesting that one can easily spend hours exploring Dubai through these telescopes.
Discussed above is a detailed procedure and by carefully reading and following it one can easily reach the top of Burj Khalifa without any worries. So the next time you are in Dubai, you know what to do.
