The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building at 828 metres, its 'At the Top' observation decks on floors 124, 125, and 148 drawing crowds to Downtown Dubai. Entry runs through the Dubai Mall concourse with airport-style security screening, and large bags and suitcases are not permitted through to the high-speed elevators. There is no dedicated luggage cloakroom for the observation experience, so travelers arriving from the airport or moving between hotels cannot bring cases to the summit. Timed tickets also mean you cannot afford delays queuing with heavy bags. Storage partners inside and around the adjoining Dubai Mall let you leave luggage first, then ride to the observation deck, watch the Dubai Fountain show, and stroll Downtown Boulevard hands-free.
