About Sky View Observatory

Sky View Observatory sits high up between the two towers of the Address Sky View hotel in Downtown Dubai. The viewing decks look straight across at the Burj Khalifa and over the Dubai Fountain, Downtown and the skyline beyond.

For a bigger thrill you can add the glass Sky Slide between the towers or the Edge Walk outside on the building’s ledge — ask us to add these when you book.

A visit takes around an hour, and the Dubai Mall and the fountain shows are right below.
