Free: Visit to Dubai's Burj Khalifa Level 125

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa is a tower of superlatives, and the world’s tallest tower never ceases to amaze visitors.

As if height alone wasn’t enough, the architectural marvel has now added another feather to its already full cap – a spiral set of steps connecting Levels 124 and 125.

In addition, visitors who opt for the At the Top, Burj Khalifa experience can also tour Level 125 free of cost with the opening of the new spiral flight.

The spiral flight, with 36 steps in white oak and spanning a length of 100 metres, is adorned with a crystal Led chandelier, and enclosed in a glass-clad façade that opens to scintillating views of the city.

The construction of the spiral flight too is a construction marvel accomplished with no intrusion into the existing services. Work was undertaken through 24-hour shifts in 1,200 man-hours and conceptualised by deploying 3D modelling techniques.

The spiral flight is built with 60 metric tonnes of steel, 700 square metres of glass, and 350 sq metres of stainless steel cladding. At any point in time, 150 people can pass through the stairway.

Since its inauguration on January 4, 2010, Burj Khalifa has been a top draw for not just Dubai, but for all visitors to the UAE and beyond.

On a clear day, the incredibly imposing tower can be seen from as far as 95km away. Its shape, inspired by the Hymenocallis desert flower, is truly a marvel to behold.

And while it holds many records within the building itself – like the world’s third fastest elevators that take you from the base to the top at a speed of 36 km/h, or 600m/min – the iconic masterpiece has today unveiled a new attraction that will spellbind visitors to At the Top, Burj Khalifa, the popular observation deck on Level 124.

A brand-new spiral flight is now open connecting Levels 124 and Levels 125.

After enjoying the views from Level 124, visitors can now explore one level higher, which is designed and features a Masharabiya motif as part of the décor’s central theme.

Here, visitors can take in 360-degree views of the city with signature Viewfinders enabling them to explore the city in vivid details. ‘Dubai – A Falcon’s Eye View’ is another not-to-miss attraction at Level 125 that allows visitors to witness Dubai with an entirely unique perspective.

While Level 124 is home to At the Top, Burj Khalifa, the observation deck that opened in 2010, Level 125 is part of the At the Top Burj Khalifa SKY journey that takes visitors to the World’s Highest Observation Deck on Level 148.

Premium ticket holders to At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY now have the opportunity to visit all three levels 124, 125 and 148, which is the crowning glory at 555 metres high. Each of the levels offers a distinguished experience.

Visitors will now have additional space to move about and absorb views of the city, especially during sunset, when the attraction is at its busiest, master developer Emaar said in a statement today.
