Tour Overview
Sky Views Observatory sits atop the Address Sky View hotel in Downtown Dubai — 53 floors up, right next to the Burj Khalifa. It's home to one of Dubai's most iconic thrills: the Sky Slide, a transparent glass tube that wraps around the outside of the tower for a one-floor vertical drop.
The observation deck itself offers 360° views of Burj Khalifa, Dubai Fountain, Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and the entire city skyline. For the truly adventurous, the Sky Edge Walk is an adrenaline-pumping experience where you walk along a narrow edge with only a harness keeping you safe (optional add-on).
Perfect for photographers, families, and anyone wanting to see Dubai from a different angle than the Burj Khalifa itself. Fully indoor, air-conditioned, and open daily.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not really — it's a 1-floor drop (about 3 seconds) in a transparent tube. Fun rather than terrifying. Age 12+ to ride; under 12s not permitted.
An optional experience where you're harnessed to a safety rail and walk along the outer edge of the 53rd floor — leaning slightly over the drop. 30 minutes. Adrenaline rush without real danger.
Yes — kids 4+ can visit the observatory. Glass slide requires 12+. Sky Edge Walk requires 16+ with parental consent. Kids under 4 free.
Sunset (5:00-6:30 PM) is the most popular — golden hour light over the skyline. Morning (10 AM) is quieter. Evening after 7 PM offers city lights.
Different experience. Burj Khalifa gives the highest views (124th-148th floors). Sky Views gives BETTER Burj Khalifa views (because you're viewing IT), plus the slide. Many guests do both.
What Our Guests Say
The glass slide is a rush! And the view of Burj Khalifa from 53rd floor — you're literally eye-level with it. Way better than I expected. Highly recommend sunset slot.
Booked the Sky Edge Walk add-on — terrifying and amazing at the same time. Walked along the edge with just a harness. My hands were sweating but I'd do it again.
