Burj Khalifa ticket price by level
The operator, At The Top, sells three observation tickets on its own booking site. The prices below were listed there on 6 November 2026.
| Ticket | Levels | Price per adult | Last entry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | 124 and 125 | AED 189 | 8:15 PM |
| Gold | 124, 125 and 148 | AED 399 | 7:00 PM |
| Platinum | 152, 153 and 154, with fast track to the lower levels | AED 769 | 7:00 PM |
Emaar’s own At the Top page says prices start from AED 199 for Silver, AED 399 for Gold and AED 769 for Platinum, depending on date and time. The two pages differ slightly, so confirm the figure on the booking page for your slot before paying. Tickets are valid for the date and time printed on them.
What each level gives you
Levels 124 and 125
Emaar’s page describes these as the public observation decks, about 452 m above the city, reached by a double-decker lift. The ticket includes the outdoor terrace, free Wi-Fi and access to both levels. Most first-time visitors stay about an hour and a half, which is also the figure the booking platforms list for this ticket.
Level 148
Level 148 is described as the world’s highest observation deck at 555 m. The Gold ticket adds priority access, a guided tour, a lounge with Arabic coffee and sweets and an outdoor terrace, on top of levels 124 and 125. It suits people who dislike queues, though it costs more than twice the Silver ticket.
The lounge on levels 152 to 154
The Platinum ticket covers the lounge at 585 m, which the operator lists as a Guinness World Record holder. It includes a welcome drink, canapes and high tea, and fast-track access to all lower levels.
Opening hours
The operator’s ticket site lists 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM for the Silver, Gold and Platinum tickets. Emaar’s At the Top page gives a wider window, from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM, so the booking slots you see may differ from either page. Last entry is earlier than closing time, so arrive well before your slot.
Rules for children and visitors
The ticket terms say children under 3 enter free and children up to 16 must stay with an adult at all times. Child tickets cannot be purchased on their own, and the operator does not publish a child price on the page we read. Large bags and strollers go to a luggage counter, sharp items and electronics must be left at a dedicated counter, and outside food and drink are not allowed.
Cancellations are allowed only up to 24 hours before the scheduled visit.
Best time to go
There is no separate sunset ticket on the operator’s site. Slots in the late afternoon cover the light as it changes from day to night, and a visit that starts a little before sunset lets you see the city in daylight and after dark. A third-party guide that read the booking calendar reported higher prices for some late afternoon slots on Silver, so compare the times on the calendar for your date.
Weather matters more than the clock. The terms say the operator is not responsible for weather that affects visibility, and haze can reduce the view. Dubai is cooler in the winter months, which is also when most visitors plan their trips.
Dubai Fountain and the area around the tower
The Dubai Fountain performs on Burj Lake next to the tower. The ticket site also sells a boardwalk on the lake at AED 25 and an abra boat ride at AED 75, both with listed hours of 5:45 PM to 10:45 PM. These are separate from the observation ticket.
The tower stands in Downtown Dubai beside Dubai Mall, and the Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall metro station is the nearest stop on the Dubai Metro.
