The Burj Khalifa observation decks provide stunning aerial views of Dubai being the tallest building in the world. Whether you take the day-trip or the night-trip, the view nestled on top of the hill is breathtaking. Yet, to optimize your visit, timing separates the ideal from the rest. In this article you will be drawn on how to select the best time to visit Burj Khalifa with the best and breathtaking views.
Morning: Clear Skies and Fewer Crowds
If you do not want crowds, the best time to visit the Burj Khalifa is in the morning. During the early hours of the day, especially from 8: 30 AM and 10:30 AM in the morning, the observation decks are not overcrowded and you can have a nice view of the city. The visibility is good most often early in the morning especially during the cold seasons as one is likely to make out major attractions like the Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai Marina.
Morning visits also give you the leeway to wander around the various floors of the Burj Khalifa without the lobbies feeling like they are closing in on you with each passing minute. It will give you enough room to take pictures or just sit down and watch the scenery while admiring the sky’s horizon as well.
Afternoon: Most suitable for further or deeper exploration.
If you wish to have Burj Khalifa visit together with some other location attractions, then, it is better to go there in the afternoon. Starting from 12 pm to 3 pm during the day, the crowds are average, and the views are Clear in daylight. It’s bright during the day because the sun is up, making it easy to see the huge expanses of sandy wilderness of Dubai, the Arabian Gulf, and more.
Sunset: Golden Hour and Best Views
Sun set is one of the most amazing times to visit the Burj Khalifa. The time slot between 5 PM and 6:30 PM presents an excellent view as it gives an opportunity to observe the city in the golden twilight and the slowly sinking sun. This is the best time for a photographer to take pictures of the Dubai skyline. It will look like a sea of colors.
In the evening you can watch the city turn on its lights and the skyline is lit up. Staying in the observation decks to watch the sunset is unique but costs extra as this is the most popular time to visit Burj Khalifa.
Night: For a Unique Experience
For a unique and romantic visit, it is better for you to visit Burj Khalifa after sunset. From around 7 PM to midnight, you can see the city of Dubai sparkle like a diamond. The observation decks present an utterly different view of the city because the streets, buildings, and prominent landmarks are visible in the dark.
One gets to enjoy the night view much since the outline of the Palm Jumeirah, the Lampliaced Burj Al Arab and the dazzling Dubai Fountain are readily visible below. Less number of people go for night visits than the sun set making the observation decks very quiet and you get ample of time to gaze at the glittering city.
