Does the ticket price depend on the time of day?

Yes, the price of a Burj Khalifa ticket is often higher if you visit the observation deck at a more attractive time of day, such as:

• sunset - when many tourists want to watch the panorama change from day to night,
• sunrise - when the weather is good, the entire panorama is bathed in soft light,
• afternoon and “prime” hours, when the light provides the best photos and views.

The Two Continents offer includes different types of admission, including Non-Prime, Prime, and Sunrise, which you can choose when booking, and each of these options has a slightly different price. Therefore, if you plan to see the Burj Khalifa at sunset, be prepared for the admission cost to be higher than in the morning.

Where to buy tickets for the Burj Khalifa and how much do they cost online?

The most convenient way to get tickets to Burj Khalifa online is to take advantage of offers available from official partners and booking sites such as Two Continents. Online booking allows you to compare all available entry options in one place and tailor the option to your expectations, both in terms of price and level of experience.

Through such a website, you can book classic At The Top tickets for the 124th and 125th floors, which include access to observation decks and telescopes. At The Top SKY tickets for the 148th floor are also available, offering a more intimate viewing experience, shorter waiting times, and additional refreshments. For those looking for the most exclusive option, it is possible to book VIP admission to the 152nd, 153rd, and 154th floors - the highest publicly accessible area in the building, offering an elegant space and packages with coffee, tea, or cocktails at sunset.

In addition to standard tickets, you can also purchase extended packages, sunrise tickets, prime time tickets (the most popular, especially during sunset), as well as options combined with other attractions. A big advantage is the ability to choose a specific time when booking, which allows you to plan your day in Dubai with great precision.
After payment, you will receive your e-ticket immediately by email, so you don't have to queue at the ticket office on site. Online booking also provides greater availability of dates and better control over the price, especially for standard hours, which are cheaper than the most popular times of the day. It is a convenient, safe, and flexible solution, especially during the tourist season, when tickets can sell out in advance.

Are VIP or premium packages available and how much do they cost?

In addition to the standard admission ticket to levels 124 & 125, Two Continents also offers additional packages that can make your visit even more special:

Fast Track Package - Skip the line

If you don't want to waste time waiting in line for the elevator, you can pay extra for the Fast Track option, which allows you to skip the lines and get to the observation decks faster.

Burj Khalifa & Sky Views Package

This combines admission to the 124th & 125th floors with access to the Sky Views Observatory (another attraction with views from above), which may be a good idea if you want to see Dubai from different perspectives.

Burj Khalifa + Dubai Aquarium

This is an interesting option for families or people who want to combine a visit to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai with a visit to the Dubai Aquarium - one booking, two attractions.

Burj Khalifa + The Roof Top Meal

This type of ticket combines admission to the observation decks with a 3-course meal at the Rooftop restaurant.
The prices of these packages are higher than a standard ticket because they offer more than just admission tickets - for example, meals, additional observation decks, or no queuing.

Good practices before your visit

When planning a visit to Burj Khalifa, it is worth remembering a few practical tips that will allow you to make the most of the experience. First of all, book your tickets in advance - the best entry times, especially at sunrise and sunset, are often sold out even a few days in advance, and during the tourist season, they tend to disappear even faster. This is when the panorama of Dubai is at its most spectacular, as the city transitions from daylight to a brightly lit night scene.

It is also worth planning your visit during hours when the weather is milder. Although the observation decks are partially sheltered, high temperatures and strong midday sun can affect your comfort and the clarity of the air. Better visibility means clearer photos and the ability to see further points of the panorama, including the coastline and desert areas surrounding the city.
Don't forget to bring your camera or smartphone with a fully charged battery. The view from the terrace is one of the main attractions of a stay in Dubai and a great opportunity to take unique photos. It is also worth preparing for different lighting conditions, especially if you plan to visit just before sunset, when the light changes very dynamically.
Before finalizing your purchase, carefully check the description of the selected package. Some options include additional amenities such as priority entry (fast track), access to higher floors, refreshments, or the ability to visit several platforms with a single ticket. The differences between the packages can significantly affect the comfort of your visit, so it is worth choosing the option that best suits your expectations and budget.
