A very interesting experience, your stomach tightens when you step on the glass floor for the first time. After a few minutes, the feeling of insecurity disappears and you don't feel like leaving anymore. We visited the observatory near sunset and it was quite crowded. The glass slide is a unique attraction, but for me it did not live up to expectations, the queue until your turn is quite long +25 minutes

One of the most beautiful observation decks in Dubai. Stunning 360° views of the downtown and the Sheikh Zayed road. Sunset is the best time to visit as you get both day and the night views. Can easily spend 1-2 hours. The glass slide is fun during the daylight. Definitely worth a visit.

Amazing view from 53rd floor. The glass walk is very well maintained and they also have a resturant at the top. This place is usually not very crowded however it is recomended to book tickets in advance. They also offer a complimentary glass slide and they do not allow anyone to take pics of it. Instead they click the pics and try to sell it for 150AED which is absolutely unfair.

Awesome viewing deck!
The glass floor is a very cool idea.
The views of Downtown Dubai are sensational. The original Toyota building still stands ..the freeways look surrealistic ..

The view from here is amazing. You see the Burj khalifa from here and also take some amazing photos.
The glass walk and the glass side are the two main things here. ( The glass side distance is quite small)
You can also observe the sunset if you time your entry properly.

Nice place to check out to see the incredible skyline of Dubai. Few extra activities available, including a slide on the side of the building from one floor to another. See-through floors provide another aspect of the high rise buildings.
Tip:try to arrange your visit to capture both day and night views as they both have their own magic, before sunset may work, the pictures added are from the same visit. There is a Cafe and seating area if required to kill some time.

A worthwhile place to visit. Stunning views of the city and the Burj Khalifa, a glass walk where you can see all the way below, and the entrance ticket includes the glass slide.

The glass slide itself is short, and not very thrilling, but would be thrilling for kids. There is a ride photo that you can purchase as well.

There is a restaurant at the top, and a gift shop at the lobby level, good restrooms available as well.

I went before sunset, so that I could get photos both during the day and at night. A lot of other people were also doing the same, so expect crowds if you go around sunset.

Beautiful attraction. Breathtaking views and so impressive to stand on glass at such height. We had tried in The Frame but this beats any other possible view. The place is big and plenty of staff to guide you. When we visited one of the two lifts was not working however it still took us just few minutes to get to the lift and up to 53rd floor.
The slide is a powerful experience but I wish the distance covered was more, I guess it is about max 2.t or 3 meters. Maybe there is some technical reason why they had to keep it short. Nevertheless.. breathtaking!! Highly highly recommended.
There is a souvenir shop and some counters for photos. The tower itself is so classy, Took a tour around to find the prayer room. Beautiful ambience all in all.
Photo was too costy, aed150 for one printout and aed300 to take the soft copy of the photo, I find it exaggerated.
