Come on, we all know the Burj Khalifa isn’t just a building, it’s the building. Towering 828 metres above Downtown Dubai, it’s held the title of the world’s tallest structure since 2010, and yes, it’s still jaw-droppingly impressive. From high up, the city sprawls beneath you like a glittering miniature model. And here’s the kicker: for a limited time, UAE and Saudi residents and nationals can enjoy this iconic view from Burj Khalifa for just AED95.

Truth be told, that’s a steal. Normally, a silver ticket to levels 124 and 125 will set you back AED179. But to mark the 95th Saudi National Day, this special offer runs from Friday, 19 September to Sunday, 28 September.
What You Get For AED95
Let’s face it, most people don’t just visit for bragging rights (though selfies at 452 metres are a must). At levels 124 and 125, you’ll find a sleek observation deck, an outside terrace perfect for dramatic skyline snaps, and panoramic views that stretch as far as the eye can see. There are even a few cute photo spots and a gift shop for those last-minute souvenirs.
And if you’re into engineering marvels, you’ll love this: you get there via one of the world’s fastest double-decker elevators. Seriously, 452 metres above the ground in seconds, it’s exhilarating, even if you’re a little scared of heights.
Timing And ticketing details
You’ll need to grab your tickets online only for this one, and there are two time slots to choose from: 7 am to 3.30 pm or 7.30 pm to 11 pm. Oh, and don’t forget your Emirates ID, KSA ID, or passport; they’ll check at the door, no exceptions.
The entrance is conveniently located on the ground floor of the Dubai Mall, right next to the tower itself. Before you ascend, there’s a short presentation detailing the history and construction of the Burj Khalifa; in practice, it’s a neat primer that makes the experience even richer.

Why This Is A Bucket-List Experience
Honestly, a few hours up there isn’t just about ticking off a sightseeing box. The views will knock your socks off, sure, but it’s also a moment to stop and appreciate what Dubai has pulled off, sheer ambition turned into steel and glass. 163 floors, engineering feats that push the limits, and a panorama that mixes desert, city, and sea, there’s nothing else quite like it.
To be fair, this offer is perfect for just about anyone, families, friends, or that one person who loves ticking off bucket-list experiences without burning a hole in their wallet. And let’s face it, deals like this don’t pop up every day. Coupled with Saudi National Day, it makes the timing feel a little extra special.
Before you head up, maybe check out some other must-see Dubai attractions; it’s a city that rewards curiosity. But honestly, nothing quite beats the view from the top. And for AED95, it’s hard to think of a better reason to visit.
