About this experience
Sky Views Observatory sits at the top of The Address Sky View in Downtown Dubai, a minute from The Dubai Mall. The glass-walled observation deck looks straight across at the Burj Khalifa and down over the Dubai Fountain, with sections of glass floor set into the walkway.
The glass slide is the signature piece: a fully transparent tube on the outside of the building that drops riders from level 53 at 219.5 metres to level 52 at 215.5 metres, with nothing but glass between them and the street below. The Edge Walk, a harnessed hands-free walk around the outside ledge, runs separately in the afternoon and evening.
