Introduction

Burj Khalifa, also known as Vertical City, is located next to Dubai Mall. Its construction started in 2004, and the doors were opened to the world in January 2010. Its design resembles the Hymenocallis flower, giving it the shape of a sculpted spire. No new architecture can beat this marvelous structure for the next entire century at least. Burj Khalifaโ€™s top floor view alone cannot be compared with anything else in the whole wide world.

With around 160 floors, it is the tallest building in the world, measured to be 2716.5 feet to be exact. Its height is three-time that of the Eiffel Tower and twice the height of the Empire State Building. With 57 elevators and eight escalators, it takes you to the top floors in just a minute. The first 15 floors make Armani hotel, with 304 rooms and luxury suites, two top-class restaurants, a spa, and a nightclub.

Seven world records

Apart from this, it has the worldโ€™s tallest mosque, the highest restaurant on the 122nd floor, the highest outdoor observation deck on the 124th floor, and the highest nightclub is on 144th floor. With these mesmerizing heights, you will be in awe of the views it has to offer. Due to these heights, it holds seven world records.

Burj Khalifa top floor views

Burj Khalifa has three observation decks in total which offer top-floor views. These observation decks come with a Burj Khalifa 360 degrees view. This panorama view reveals the magnificently evolving skyline of Dubai. The two famous observation decks are:

At The Top:

Surprisingly, the 124th floor observation deck is an outdoor observation deck. Standing at 452 meters above sea level, it presents a splendid view.

The horizontal spaces in the glass panels serve the purpose of capturing enchanted photographs. With At The Topโ€™s Electronic Telescope, you can clearly view the shores in distance.

Furthermore, these observation decks have gift shops where you can buy souvenirs. As there are no chairs or sitting area on the outdoor deck, make sure you are wearing comfortable shoes.

At The Top Sky:

At The Top, Sky is the 148th floor of Burj Khalifa and is the highest observation deck in the world. This observation deck is higher than any other building in the whole Emirate.
