Meeting point
Inside The Dubai Mall: the check-in point is shown on your ticket — Burj Khalifa observation-deck visits start from The Dubai Mall, not from the tower's hotel or residence entrances.
Nearest transit: Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall station on the Dubai Metro Red Line, then the covered link bridge into the mall
What SKY includes: level 148 lounge, guided tour, fast-track lift
SKY includes three decks, a host and a lounge for $109 per person. You get admission to level 148 at 555 m, plus levels 124 and 125 on the same ticket. Skip-the-line access covers both the security check and the elevator. An English-speaking guest ambassador gives a short introductory tour; a full guide and an audio guide are not included. On level 148 there is a lounge with snacks and hot drinks, interactive stations and an outdoor terrace, and the listing caps the deck at 50 people at any one time. Wi-Fi runs throughout. The listing also describes projections on the way up that let you 'fly' over city landmarks, and a ground-floor exhibition on the tower's construction at the end of the visit.
Price by time slot
SKY starts at $109 (AED 399, at 1 USD = 3.6725 AED) per person, read on 27 October 2026. That is $58 more than the standard 124/125 ticket and $100 less than The Lounge. The listing sells a sunset option, and prime-time slots around sunset cost more; the booking calendar shows the price of each slot before you pay. Sunset on the 15th falls at about 17:52 in October, 17:31 in November and December and 19:10 in June (computed for Dubai), so pick a slot that starts a little before it. Reserve now, pay later is available, so you can hold a sunset slot today and pay nearer the date. The full price list for every ticket is on our Burj Khalifa ticket price page.
Is level 148 worth it
Level 148 is worth it if crowds, not height, are what you want to avoid. The extra $58 over the standard ticket buys three things it lacks: no security or lift queue, a deck capped at 50 people, and a seat in a lounge with a hot drink. The view is about 100 m higher than from level 124: the same city, seen from further up. Recent buyers agree. All 10 of the latest reviews give 5 stars, and 3 of them mention skipping the queues or the busy lower levels. One describes having the lounge almost to themselves with a coffee at sunset. If the queue is your only worry, the fast-track ticket costs $40 less. Our 124 vs 148 comparison goes through it point by point.
What you see from 148
From 555 m you see the same 360-degree panorama as the lower decks, from higher up: Downtown Dubai below, the coast of the Arabian Gulf and the desert inland. Telescopes help you pick out landmarks. The Dubai Fountain plays in the lake at the foot of the tower. The listing gives shows at 1:00 pm and 1:30 pm daily except Friday, at 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm on Friday, and every 30 minutes from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm; times can change in Ramadan and on event days. It advises booking about 30 minutes before the show you want. Your ticket also covers levels 124 and 125, so you see the view from two heights in one visit of up to 1.5 hours. One recent reviewer used a 6:00 pm slot to see the city in daylight and after dark.
Book SKY
Pick a date, then a regular or sunset slot. You can reserve now and pay later, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before your slot. On the day, go to the check-in point shown on your ticket in The Dubai Mall; the security and lift lines are skipped from there. If you visit during Ramadan, the listing says food and drinks in the lounge are not served until iftar, the evening meal at sunset, so pick an evening slot that month if the lounge matters to you. One recent reviewer found the café took cards only, so carry one. To compare SKY with every other option, start from our Burj Khalifa tickets page.
