Sky Views Observatory
Sky Views Observatory
An observation deck in Downtown with a glass bridge and a glass slide on the outside of the building.
Description
Sky Views Observatory is an observation deck at a height of about 220 metres in Downtown, between the two towers of the Address Sky View hotel. Besides the city panorama, it has two highlights for thrill-seekers.
The first is a glass bridge that you walk across as if over an abyss, with a view of Burj Khalifa. The second is an enclosed glass slide on the outside of the building between floors. It is an alternative to the classic observation decks with an emphasis on adrenaline.
Tip: You are given special footwear to walk across the glass bridge — it is part of the experience.
