Yes. Burj Khalifa is not only one of Dubai's most-visited attractions, but it also holds the title of the world's tallest building at a lofty 2,717 feet (828 meters). Reservations are essential if you want to take in the views from Burj Khalifa, and many sightseeing tours of Dubai include tickets to the famous landmark.

Per one customer who booked the Dubai Half Day City Tour with Burj Khalifa At The Top Tickets, "Getting 'front-of-line' tickets at the Burj Khalifa enhanced our experience with minimal wait times... The variety of experiences on this tour was impressive. Going from historic souks to the modern architectural wonders of today provided greater insight into today's Dubai."

No, entry to the Burj Khalifa isn’t free, but there are admission ticket packages for every budget. Choose between tickets that grant you access to the At the Top observation deck on levels 124 and 125, or entry to The Lounge on levels 152, 153, and 154—which boasts the title of the World’s Highest Lounge.

No, there isn’t a dress code for the Burj Khalifa. That said, if you plan to visit one of the many restaurants in the building, smart-casual attire is recommended. Avoid wearing shorts or sandals if you’re dining at Atmosphere Restaurant and Lounge on the 122nd floor.

Yes, you should buy Burj Khalifa tickets in advance, especially if you want to beat the crowds and arrive at a time of your choice. Entry times are staggered to keep crowds at bay, so tickets for certain time slots can sell out ahead of time. Sunset tickets are often the first to go.

If you want to admire the city lights, the Burj Khalifa is better at night. For more detailed photos of Dubai’s desert landscapes and skyline, visit during daylight hours. Sunset makes for magical shots—if you time it right, you might get to see light and dark vistas in one visit.

If you’re visiting Burj Khalifa Sky, you can spend around 30 minutes at level 148 before descending to levels 124 and 125 (At the Top), where there’s no time limit. However, most visitors don’t end up spending more than an hour to 90 minutes at the tower.

The best way to avoid queues at the Burj Khalifa is by prebooking your ticket. During peak times, you might still need to wait in line to get into the building and onto the elevator, so it’s always wise to show up a little early.
