Public overjoyed about Burj Khalifa re-opening

The facility was shut down abruptly during first week of February, due to elevator malfunctioning. Several thousands of visitors were affected when ‘At The Top’ closed, and travel operators and hotel managements had to deal with embarrassing situations. Although the tickets were refunded, dreams of several visitors were shattered.

Now, with the announcement of the opening, tourists have begun flocking in huge numbers once again, and the booking has gone on overdrive, it is said.

A representative from At The Top, who spoke to the media, mentioned that they have already received dozens of bookings from excited visitors.

Even the travel agents expressed their happiness, as there has been a sudden increase in enquiries from foreigners, and are looking forward to more customers.

Located at the 124th floor, the AT The Top observation deck is the world’s highest Burj Khalifa. It is open to public all days of the week, with a viewing schedule of 10am to 10pm from Sunday to Wednesday and 10am to midnight from Thursday to Saturday.

A standard experience At The Top lasts 60 minutes. When pre-booked, the tickets will be charged at Dh.100 for adults, Dh.75 for kids under 12 and free for children under four. For emergency access, tickets are at the rate of Dh.400 per head.
