As nighttime falls in Dubai, Burj Khalifa stands as a beautiful silhouette on the city’s skyline. The evening is also a great time to visit the world’s tallest building – here are a few suggestions for an unforgettable experience.
Start your visit by watching the sun set over the city from At The Top, the observation deck on the 124th and 125th floors of Burj Khalifa. Or head up even higher, with the premium At The Top Sky on the 148th floor, which is located a staggering 555m above ground.
Go for a delicious dinner at At.mosphere, the world’s highest located restaurant at 442m. Make sure to reserve your spot in advance, with both window and non-window tables an option, and tuck into delights such as French caviar, blue lobster and beef tartare as you survey the sparkling lights of Downtown Dubai.
Experience new heights at The Lounge, which is situated 585m above ground on floors 152 to 154 of Burj Khalifa. The world’s tallest lounge is the perfect place to take some dramatic snaps of Dubai at night – head to the outdoor terrace, and savour some light bites and refreshing drinks while you’re there too.
Take Burj Khalifa’s futuristic elevators (which travel at 10m per second) back to the ground floor, then venture outside to gaze up at the majestic skyscraper. If you time it right, you may even get to enjoy a spectacular LED light show – which in the past has seen everything from national flags to characters from The Lion King projected onto the building’s exterior.
