About Sky Views Observatory

Sky Views Observatory offers one of Downtown Dubai's most thrilling vantage points, perched on floors 52 and 53 of the Address Sky View Hotel. Rising 219.5 metres above the city, this observation deck combines breathtaking panoramic views with adrenaline-fueled experiences that set it apart from traditional viewing platforms.

The highlight for many visitors is the glass-floored walkway spanning 46 metres, where you can quite literally walk on air whilst gazing down at the bustling streets of Downtown Dubai below. Those seeking an extra rush can try the outdoor Glass Slide or brave the Sky Edge Walk, both offering unique perspectives of iconic landmarks including Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Fountain. The journey begins with a panoramic glass elevator that provides stunning views as you ascend.

Families will appreciate the wheelchair-accessible facilities and free parking options, whilst the recommendation to book tickets in advance reflects its popularity. Open daily from 10am to 8pm on weekdays and until 10pm from Thursday through Sunday, the observatory is particularly magical at sunset when Dubai's skyline transforms into a glittering spectacle. Located in the heart of Downtown Dubai near Burj Khalifa, Sky Views Observatory delivers thrilling experiences wrapped in spectacular urban vistas.
