The highest outdoor observation deck in the world is located at, not surprisingly, the tallest building in the world – Burj Khalifa. Located at level 148, At The Top, Burj Khalifa SKY is the mother of all observation decks that many of us has had the privilege of visiting across the world. Adding to the experience is the element of luxury and hospitality that so typifies Dubai.

The entrance to At The Top is inside the Dubai Mall. A briefing session is conducted in the At the Top, Burj Khalifa SKY lounge, where visitors are offered dates, sweets and Arabic coffee. Audio guides are handed over by guest ambassadors who escort visitors to special high speed elevator that takes them to level 148. It is a thrilling moment as I look down at the city sprawled before me from the 555 metres high observation deck. Here also hospitality has been incorporated in the heart of the whole experience as guests can relax for sometime in the luxurious lounge and sample delectable Arabic sweets and sip in the refreshing mint lime cooler.

Level 125 is at 456 metres which houses the Falcon’s Eye View experience. One of the highlights is the exhibition on the ground floor which gives behind the scene stories of how Burj Khalifa was built. There are giant posters of the teams who made the vision possible. It is a proud moment to see many Indians names and faces among them.
