Interactive telescopes At the Top, Burj Khalifa

Millions of people from around the globe visit At the Top, Burj Khalifa every year, setting new visitor records year after year. The view of Dubai is breathtaking, but a view alone doesn’t tell you what you’re looking at.

The goal was to redefine the observation deck telescope: a way for every visitor, of any age or language, to explore the skyline in a whole new way.

Our interactive AR 360 telescopes combine augmented reality with panoramic views of Dubai’s skyline and beyond. Point, zoom and discover: facts and stories appear right over the real landmarks.

They are more than viewing tools. Each telescope is an immersive educational experience that gives rich context and background to everything you see.
