The Sky Views Observatory – A New Perspective on Dubai

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator onto the 53rd floor, I was greeted with jaw-dropping panoramic views of the Dubai skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. My eyes were immediately drawn to the towering magnificence of the Burj Khalifa, looking almost close enough to touch! Gazing out across the city, I could see for miles – from the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf to the unique buildings dotting the spectacular skyline of Dubai.

Walking on the glass floor was an incredible experience. Although a tad unnerving at first, the transparent floor made me feel like I was floating high above the bustling streets below. I couldn’t resist taking the classic “levitating” pose for some fun vacation photos! Peering straight down through the glass gave me a unique aerial view of the vibrant city.

Of course, no visit to Sky Views would be complete without experiencing the thrilling glass slide. At 53 floors up, this exhilarating exterior glass slide is the highest in the world! Although I was nervous at first, the friendly staff eased my anxiety and ensured my safety was the top priority. The slide itself was smooth as butter. Within seconds, I was whisked down from level 53 to 52 in a breathtaking blur. The adrenaline rush was incredible! I’ll never forget the feeling of gliding outside the tower, high above the Dubai skyline. An absolute must-do for thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies.

After the high-octane experiences of the observation deck and glass slide, it was time to relax and soak in the views over dinner at Sky52 restaurant. With culinary delights and refreshments available on the 52nd floor, this was the perfect spot to unwind while gazing out at the glittering Dubai skyline. I savored delicious cuisine paired with refreshing drinks as the sun began to set over the iconic Burj Khalifa. Watching the city transition from day to night was a stunning experience.

Whether you’re a photography enthusiast looking to capture the perfect cityscape, a family seeking an entertaining day out, or a couple looking for a romantic backdrop, Sky Views caters to all.

Had a wonderful experience.
It offered different views and perspectives of the Burj.
For the adrenaline junkies, you could book the option to hang outside way up high.

My Honest Review of Sky Views Observatory

Here are my top 5 highlights:

1. Panoramic views of Dubai from 2195 meters high. Gazing out across the entire city is an incredible experience you can’t get anywhere else.
2. Unique perspective from the glass floor walkway. Definitely face your fears and try this – the views directly below are unforgettable!
3. The thrilling exterior glass slide which is the highest glass slide in the world. This 53-story adrenaline rush is hands-down one of the most exciting things I’ve done in Dubai!
4. Watching the sunset over drinks and dinner at Sky52. A perfect way to relax and soak in the views after an action-packed day.
5. Friendly and welcoming staff who prioritize your safety and enjoyment. Their expertise brought my experience to the next level.

Of course, no attraction is perfect. Here are a few downsides to balance out this glowing review:
– It can get very crowded during peak times. I’d recommend booking a timed ticket online in advance to skip the queues. I booked mine on Get Your Guide.
– The glass slide line can move slowly. Patience is key, but the 4-second thrill ride down is well worth the wait!
– Photos and video packages are pricey. I’d suggest just taking your own photos with your camera/phone instead.
– Not ideal for anyone with a fear of heights! While safe, the views are vertigo-inducing.

Despite these minor caveats, I wholeheartedly recommend Sky Views Observatory as an essential experience for first-time visitors and longtime Dubai residents alike.
