Sitting atop the Address Dubai at 219.5 metres above the ground, Sky view Dubai takes city sightseers to new heights as a super speedy elevator takes you straight to level 53.
The novel attraction from Emaar, a three-fold experience comprising Sky Observatory, Sky Glass Slide and Sky Edge Walk, is undoubtedly an Instragrammable destination even for the most reluctant social media users.
Adrenalin seekers and even nascent brave hearts will be exhilarated by its unbridled fun.
Though signing a mandatory waver can raise many eyebrows, but brushing aside all doubts seems the only way forward if one’s already come this far, in pursuit of some unusual thrill.
This action-filled recreational activity begins when people don the black jumpsuits. Petrification gradually turns into exhilaration as a white and green helmet is then handed out.

Next, Sky Views Observatory presents guests with access to Level 52 and 53 of the iconic twin towers.
A 46-metre glass walk is perched in between two towers, providing an unhindered view of Downtown Dubai for social media lovers.
