Burj Khalifa At The TOP and Gold Coffee at Burj Al Arab — Dubai Skyline & Luxury Experience
Ascend to Burj Khalifa’s At the TOP observation deck for sweeping city and Gulf views, then savor a gold coffee at the Burj Al Arab. This half-day combo pairs engineering marvels with curated luxury and practical advice for visiting both sites.
The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early to avoid peak crowds
Morning or late-afternoon slots reduce lines at the elevator and give softer light for photos.
Know the pickup and drop-off limits
Pickup from central Dubai is included but return transfer from Burj Al Arab to your hotel is not—plan your return transport.
Respect the dress code at Burj Al Arab
Semi-formal attire is recommended inside the hotel; avoid beachwear in the lobby and lounge areas.
Bring sun protection and a light layer
The observatory is exposed to sunlight; interiors are heavily air-conditioned so a light layer helps between environments.
