Free & Reduced Tickets for Burj Khalifa

Information on eligibility for complimentary access and special offers for residents.

While the Burj Khalifa is a premium attraction, there are specific policies for complimentary access, primarily for young children. Special offers for UAE residents may also be available at certain times. Check this page for the latest information on who is eligible.

Eligibility for Free Entry

Infants and Toddlers

Children under the age of 3 are granted free admission to the Burj Khalifa's "At the Top" observation decks. When booking tickets for your family, you do not need to purchase a ticket for children in this age group, but they must be accompanied by a ticketed adult.

Special Offers

The Burj Khalifa does not offer general free entry days like some other global landmarks. However, special promotions and discounts are sometimes available, particularly for UAE residents. These offers are typically announced on the official website and may require a valid Emirates ID to be presented upon entry.

How to Claim

For Children Under 3: Simply proceed to the entrance with your party. While a ticket is not required for the child, proof of age may be requested by the staff, so it is advisable to carry a copy of a birth certificate or passport.

For Resident Offers: If you are eligible for a UAE resident offer, you must typically book through the official channels and present a valid Emirates ID for each person claiming the discount at the ticket counter. These offers are generally not available through third-party resellers.
