Sky Views Dubai
At 219.5m above ground, Sky Views Dubai is the latest attraction to sweep visitors off their feet with mesmerising perspectives of the Downtown area and the sublime city skyline beyond.
Perched atop the Address Sky View hotel, this architectural marvel comprises three thrilling escapades perched high over Dubai – the Observatory, Glass Slide and Edge Walk.
Experiences to try at Sky Views Dubai
Taking advantage of the hotel's twin towers feature, the Observatory gives guests a panoramic glass elevator ride to level 52, from where they can access a spiral staircase to the floor above for a spellbinding 46m-long glass walk to the adjacent building.
Ideal for all ages, the Glass Slide best captures childhood joy, affording a spectacular sky ride inside a transparent tunnel from level 53 to 52 of the tower. Meanwhile, true risk-takers will look forward to a trek along the Edge Walk – this one-of-a-kind experience puts guests, all equipped with safety harnesses, on an outer ledge encircling the skyscraper's highest pod.
Each offering allows daring participants to enjoy rare 360-degree views of the iconic landmarks around, from the nearby Burj Khalifa to the buzzing superhighway, Sheikh Zayed Road.
