From landing to sky, in Dubai anything is possible and the transportation options are incredible. After landing at the airport in this magnificent city, you can visit the world’s tallest skyscraper without setting foot on the ground. As incredible as it may sound, this is possible in this place thanks to a particular system.
The Burj Khalifa is considered the tallest building in the world and has a height of 828 meters, more than twice the height of the Empire State Building and almost three times the size of the Eiffel Tower. Its imposing architecture makes it one of the must-see attractions of the city and tourists cannot miss its magnificence.
A direct landing to heaven: how to get from the airport to the Burj Khalifa
Dubai’s transport system is excellent, and tourists who arrive there can find the options that best suit their needs. But one of them allows access to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai Mall without going through the street or sidewalks. From the Metro station that leaves from the airport, you can walk to this emblematic tourist spot, through walkways and conveyor belts that also have air conditioning.
For those who choose this option, you can take the red line at terminal 1 or 3, which will arrive in less than 25 minutes to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall station. To further enjoy the views of this majestic city, you can also purchase the Metro Gold Card, which is rechargeable and slightly more expensive than the regular one (the red one), and enjoy the impressive beauty of the architecture while you reach your destination.
A landing in the city of dreams: everything you need to know about the Burj Khalifa
Burj Khalifa is a must-see in Dubai and, without a doubt, one of the most impressive attractions. Getting there can be an adventure in itself, starting from the moment you land, enjoying the cityscapes and walking through luxurious walkways. But once you reach the Burj Khalifa, the views will leave you breathless. To make the most of this challenge, it’s important to know the prices. Going up to the 125th floor costs 38 euros, while to the 148th floor you have to pay 100.
The Burj Khalifa is a true vertical city that broke all records. Its construction began on September 21, 2004, and ended on October 1, 2009. Its construction is so sophisticated that the inclement weather does not affect the heights because it was designed with a cross-section in the shape of a letter to reduce the effect of the wind. One of the most impressive features of the Burj is the observation deck, considered the highest in the world until the opening of the platform in the Shanghai Tower, which has a height of 561.3 meters.
