Sky Views Observatory sits on the upper floors of the Address Sky View hotel in Downtown Dubai, a short walk from the Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa area. You buy a ticket for the exact experience you want, whether that is the observatory with the Glass Slide, a meal and souvenir package, the Edge Walk or a Gold Menu option, then choose your date and time. Each ticket includes only what its own option lists, so read the option before you book Sky Views Observatory tickets.
What you can see and do at Sky Views Observatory
The observatory is built around wide glass-walled viewing areas that look across Downtown Dubai, with views of the Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Mall and Sheikh Zayed Road. A dedicated lift takes you up from the hotel, and clear pathways lead you between the viewing areas. The Glass Slide is a short transparent chute linking the 53rd and 52nd floors, so you descend with the city visible below you. Sky 52 is the restaurant on site, and a small souvenir selection is available.
Plan your time
Opening hours are 10:00 to 22:00 every day. Most observatory visits take 20 to 30 minutes, and the Gold Dining Menu option is listed at about two hours because it includes a seated menu item. Late afternoon into evening works well if you want to see Dubai in daylight and then lit up, but check your confirmed time slot, as entry is at the time you book.
