Sky Views Dubai tickets start at $24 for the Sky Views Observatory Ticket with Optional Extras, which is also the most reviewed option at 4.5 stars from 11,448 reviews. The deck is at about 220 m in Address Sky View, Downtown Dubai. The other four products are two Burj Khalifa combos and two private-transfer tickets. I’d go about an hour before sunset.
I compared all five Sky Views Dubai tickets and combos that GetYourGuide sells right now. Prices, ratings and inclusions come from the listings as I checked them in October 2026, in US dollars. Two of them have no ratings yet, so I say so where it matters. Where a card is in a section only because it was left over in my ranking, I tell you.
Sky Views Dubai at a Glance
The deck behind the Sky Views Dubai tickets sits in Address Sky View, the Standard Chartered Tower in Downtown Dubai, a short walk from the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall. Sky Views Dubai tickets get you the observatory, and the glass slide and Edge Walk are extras on top. This is the data behind the Sky Views Dubai tickets, each number with its source.
If you want the plain version of Sky Views Dubai observation deck tickets, this is it, and it is the one I’d book for a first visit. The Sky Views Observatory Ticket with Optional Extras costs $24, rated 4.5 from 11,448 reviews, which makes it the most reviewed of all five products by a wide margin. It is sold by GetYourGuide Tours & Tickets GmbH and is a standard ticket, not a tour.
The listing says it includes the entry ticket to Sky Views Dubai. Two extras are only included if you pick the option: the glass slide with a selection of bites, and the Sky Edge Walk. The listing also lists hotel pickup and drop-off, which I read as an option too, so confirm what you are choosing on the booking page. Food and drinks, personal expenses and gratuities are not included. The ticket is valid for 24 hours and you can cancel up to 24 hours ahead for a full refund. I’d start with the basic entry and add the slide only if you want it, which is how I’d buy Sky Views Dubai tickets for most people.

Sky Views Observatory Ticket with Optional Extras
★4.5 (11,448 reviews)
24-hour ticket
Free cancellation
My pick: The $24 entry ticket with the glass slide and Edge Walk as options: 4.5 stars from 11,448 reviews, and my pick for a first visit.
Sky Views Dubai tickets and prices run from $24 to $133, and the price climbs only when the Burj Khalifa or a car is added. The next step up from the basic entry is the Burj Khalifa Level 124, 125 & Sky Views Entry Ticket at $76, rated 4.3 from 3,641 reviews, also from GetYourGuide Tours & Tickets GmbH. That is $52 more than the basic entry, and it buys you the Burj Khalifa too.
The inclusions are tickets to Burj Khalifa Level 124 and 125 for non-prime hours only, the Burj Khalifa entry ticket for your booked time slot, the entry ticket to Sky Views Dubai, hotel pickup and drop-off, and an audio guide that you can hire. You show your voucher at the Burj Khalifa lower ground floor, on the left of the At the Top entrance. It is valid for 24 hours with free cancellation up to 24 hours ahead. One reviewer said the Sky Views view of the Burj Khalifa put it all into perspective before going up it, which is why I like seeing Sky Views Dubai first. Another complained about the queue at the Burj Khalifa, so book the earliest slot.
My pick: A $76 combo of Burj Khalifa levels 124 and 125 (non-prime hours) plus Sky Views: 4.3 stars from 3,641 reviews, best for two decks on one voucher.
“Definitely worth doing this experience as the view from Skyview to the Burj Khalifa put it all into perspective, before actually going to the top of Burj Khalifa for amazing views.”
Prices are the lowest per-person prices on GetYourGuide when I last checked; the final price depends on the date, time slot and age.
Is Sky Worth It
For most visitors I’d say yes, and the numbers are why. Sky Views Dubai tickets start at $24, and the observatory has 4.5 on Google Maps from 3,899 reviews, with 4.5 on GetYourGuide from 11,448. It is the cheapest option in the city that puts the Burj Khalifa in front of you instead of under you, 0.61 km away in a straight line. The private-transfer listing also mentions a panoramic glass elevator and a 46-meter glass floor, so you get more than a view.
The case against Sky Views Dubai tickets is height. At the Burj Khalifa you get far more of it, while here you get about 220 m, so if you want the highest view, spend more on the combos. With Sky Views Dubai tickets I’d also not expect solitude: one reviewer said they could not get close to the edge of the platform, and another wanted a little more photo time before the slide. For $24 I’d still go, and I’d pair it with a Burj Khalifa visit, on the same day if the schedule allows.
Sky Views Observatory Dubai Tickets
Sky Views Dubai tickets are all sold under the name Sky Views Observatory or Sky Views Dubai, and there are really three kinds. Plain entry at $24 is the first kind. Combos with the Burj Khalifa, at $76 and $133, are the second. The third is a private car with entry, at $132. All five are sold on GetYourGuide, and you cancel any of them free up to 24 hours ahead.
I found no separate official ticket office price in my data, so I can’t tell you whether buying at the door costs more or less than the $24 online. What the data shows is that booking Sky Views Dubai tickets online fixes the price and the time before you travel. The official site is where to check the walk-up price and holiday hours before you go.
Sky View Observatory Dubai Tickets Price
The most expensive of the Sky Views Dubai tickets is the one with a private car. The card in this section is a leftover in my ranking, not the lowest price. Sky Views Edge Walk Tickets with Private GMC Transfer, from HARBOR TOURISM LLC, costs $132 for 2.5 hours, and it has no ratings yet. The title says Edge Walk, but the inclusions list only a private pickup and drop-off in a GMC SUV, admission to Sky Views Observatory and a chauffeur service. The description does not mention the walk either, so I would ask the seller whether it is included before paying.
What you pay for with these Sky Views Dubai tickets is the car: you are collected at your hotel, driven to Address Sky View, given time at your own pace and returned. Food and drinks are not included, and free cancellation runs to 24 hours ahead. Compared with the $24 entry, the gap is $108 for the transfer. That is only worth it for a family or a group who would otherwise take two taxis, or anyone who wants the door-to-door convenience.

Sky Views Edge Walk Tickets with Private GMC Transfer
2.5 hours
Free cancellation
My pick: A leftover in my ranking: a 2.5-hour private GMC transfer with observatory entry at $132; no ratings yet, and the Edge Walk is not in the inclusions.
The glass slide is the thing people come for, and it is an add-on to Sky Views Dubai tickets. The base ticket listing describes it as a floating transparent tube: you climb the spiral staircase to level 53 and glide down to the level below, with the city in view as you go. It is an extra, not part of the plain entry. The Level 148 combo lists it as an extra 25 AED per person paid on site, which is the only price I have for it, so I won’t guess at the others.
The card here is Sky Views Observatory Tickets + free Glass Slide, from HARBOR TOURISM LLC, at $132 for 2.5 hours. The title promises a free slide, but the inclusions list a private GMC SUV transfer, a professional chauffeur, access to the observatory, a panoramic glass elevator and a 46-meter glass floor, and no slide. The listing has no ratings. I’d read it as a transfer package with a glass floor, and email the operator about the slide before you pay. Google Maps lists the slide as its own place, with 4.4 from 58 reviews, 0.05 km from the deck.
HARBOR TOURISM LLC
Sky Views Observatory Tickets + free Glass Slide

My pick: A $132 private transfer with the observatory, glass elevator and 46 m glass floor; the slide is in the title but not in the inclusions, and there are no ratings yet.
I have no VIP product among the Sky Views Dubai tickets, so I can only tell you where the skip-the-queue features are. The base ticket and the plain combo have none that I can see. The only line-skipping product in my data is the Level 148 combo, which lists skip-the-line entry for the Burj Khalifa, not for Sky Views, plus a lounge with snacks and hot drinks. That is a Burj Khalifa perk at $133, and I’d consider it worth it only if you were going up the Burj Khalifa anyway.
For the observatory itself, I would simply go on a weekday morning. The doors open at 10 am per Google Maps, and queues at the Burj Khalifa were the main complaint in the reviews I read. I’d rather book Sky Views Dubai tickets for the early slot than pay for a premium tier I can’t verify.
Sky Views Dubai Location
The deck is in the Standard Chartered Tower, Address Sky View, in Downtown Dubai, per Google Maps. It is a short distance from the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall, so you can combine all three on foot. The combos send you to the Burj Khalifa lower ground floor, or to the Dubai Mall to swap your voucher, depending on the product. I have no data on parking or on metro stops, so I won’t give directions beyond that, and the official site is the place for them.
If you stay outside Downtown, the private-transfer Sky Views Dubai tickets bring you to the door. The two transfer cards on this page include a GMC SUV and a driver, so you skip the question of how to get there. For everyone else, the straight-line distances further down show how close the neighbours are: the Dubai Fountain at 0.83 km and the Burj Khalifa at 0.61 km.
Sky Views Dubai Promo Code
I found no official promo code for Sky Views Dubai tickets, so I won’t invent one. The saving on Sky Views Dubai tickets is built in. The cheapest way to the observatory is the plain $24 entry, and the combos bundle two visits on one voucher. The $76 combo costs $52 more than the entry and gets you into the Burj Khalifa too.
The card here is a leftover in my ranking, not the lowest price. The Burj Khalifa Level 148 & Sky Views Entry Ticket Combo costs $133, rated 4.7 from 1,080 reviews, which is the best rating of the five. It includes skip-the-line entry to the Burj Khalifa SKY level 148 and levels 124 and 125, the entry ticket to Sky Views Dubai, and the Burj Khalifa Lounge with snacks and hot drinks. Transport, a guide and the glass slide are not included, and the slide is an extra 25 AED per person on site. You exchange your voucher at the Dubai Mall. Free cancellation runs to 24 hours ahead.
My pick: A leftover in my ranking: $133 for Burj Khalifa levels 124, 125 and 148 with skip-the-line and a lounge, plus Sky Views entry; 4.7 stars from 1,080 reviews.
Cloud cover decides the view, and the sunset time decides your slot. In the 2025 weather data from Open-Meteo, the clearest months are May and October, both at 5% average cloud cover. The cloudiest is February at 49%. Sunset runs from 17:30 in November to 19:11 in July.
Opening hours work in favour of Sky Views Dubai tickets. Per Google Maps the observatory is open until 8 pm on Monday to Wednesday and until 10 pm on Thursday to Sunday, so the sun sets before closing in every month of the year. I’d arrive 45 to 60 minutes before sunset, then stay as the Burj Khalifa lights up. Check the official site for holiday hours, because I can’t confirm them. The Edge Walk is in the open air, so summer afternoons will be hot, and the data has no temperature column.
What You Can See From Sky Views Dubai
At about 220 m you look straight across at the Burj Khalifa. The calculator below shows how far the horizon is at that height, using the Wikipedia figure.

1 Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Blvd - Burj Khalifa - Downtown Dubai - Dubai - United Arab Emirates
The Burj Khalifa is the main sight, 0.61 km (0.38 miles) away. Burj Park is 0.82 km (0.51 miles), The Dubai Fountain 0.83 km (0.52 miles) and the Dubai Mall 1.07 km (0.66 miles). Further out, the Dubai Frame is 4.90 km (3.05 miles) away, Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood 7.67 km (4.76 miles), Dubai Marina Walk 17.77 km (11.04 miles) and Ain Dubai 19.92 km (12.38 miles). The nearby sights read as clear landmarks, and the farther ones as part of the skyline, so a zoom lens helps.
Sky Views Dubai vs Other Observation Decks in Dubai
Sky Views Dubai tickets are the cheapest of the big decks in the city, and this is one of several. Ratings and review counts are from Google Maps, and distances are straight-line from this deck. Whether each is free is something I only state when a source does, so I mark the rest as unknown.

The Burj Khalifa is the obvious partner for Sky Views Dubai tickets, because the two decks show the same skyline from different angles. If you want a third deck, the Dubai Frame is 4.90 km away and shows old and new Dubai side by side. The View at The Palm is across town at 16.30 km, and Ain Dubai is a Ferris wheel 19.92 km away, so I’d book those on separate days. My full comparison is in the guide to Dubai observation decks.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a ticket to Sky Views Dubai cost?+
The cheapest listing I found is the Sky Views Observatory Ticket with Optional Extras at $24, rated 4.5 from 11,448 GetYourGuide reviews. Combos with the Burj Khalifa run from $76 to $133, and the two private-transfer options are $132 each. The glass slide and Edge Walk are optional extras on the base ticket.
Is Skyview Dubai worth it?+
I think yes, mainly because of the price. At $24 it is the cheapest way I found to see Downtown Dubai from height, and Google Maps shows 4.5 from 3,899 reviews. It is also the deck that looks straight at the Burj Khalifa, about 0.61 km away, which no other deck can offer you.
Is Sky View in Burj Khalifa?+
No. Sky Views Observatory is in Address Sky View, a separate building in Downtown Dubai, about 0.61 km from the Burj Khalifa in a straight line. Two products on this page bundle both visits, one with Burj Khalifa levels 124 and 125 at $76 and one that adds level 148 at $133.
Is Sky View Dubai free?+
No, every Sky Views Dubai ticket I found is paid, from $24. The glass slide is not free either: the Level 148 combo lists it as an extra 25 AED per person paid on site. One private-transfer listing calls its slide free in the title, but its inclusions do not list a slide, so check before you buy.
Which is better, Burj Khalifa or Sky View observatory?+
It depends on what you want. The Burj Khalifa is far higher, 828 m for the building per the listing, while Sky Views sits at about 220 m but costs $24 and adds a glass slide, a glass floor and an optional Edge Walk. Many visitors do both, and the $76 combo covers the two.
What are the opening hours of Sky Views Dubai?+
Per Google Maps, Sky Views Observatory is open 10 am to 8 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and 10 am to 10 pm from Thursday to Sunday. Sunset in Dubai falls between 17:30 and 19:11 across the year, so there is always time for a sunset visit. Check the official site for holiday hours.
Is it worth going to floor 148 Burj Khalifa?+
The Level 148 combo costs $133 against $76 for levels 124 and 125, and has the highest rating of the five products at 4.7 from 1,080 reviews. It adds skip-the-line entry and a lounge with snacks and hot drinks. I'd pay the extra only if you want fewer queues and the higher deck.
