Sky Views Observatory Dubai — Glass Slide & Edge Walk

About Sky Views in Dubai

Sky Views Observatory at Address Sky View hotel in Downtown Dubai offers a multi-experience observation attraction at 219.5 metres above ground — combining a glass-floor observation deck, an external glass slide between the hotel's two towers, and a hands-free edge walk along the building's exterior. It opened in 2022 as a more interactive alternative to the Burj Khalifa, appealing to visitors who want thrills beyond just looking at a view. The Observatory (Level 52) features floor-to-ceiling windows and a transparent glass-bottom walkway looking straight down to the street below. The views encompass Burj Khalifa (just 500 metres away at eye level), Downtown Dubai, Dubai Canal, and the Sheikh Zayed Road skyline. But the signature experience is the Glass Slide — a transparent tube that slides you from Level 53 to Level 52 along the exterior of the building, with nothing but clear glass between you and the 220-metre drop. The 25-second ride reaches speeds of 15 km/h. The Edge Walk takes it further — you're harnessed to a rail on the building's exterior and walk along a narrow ledge 219 metres above the ground with no glass barriers. Only available to those 21+ and in good physical health, it's Dubai's most extreme urban adventure and the highest edge walk in the Middle East.
