Burj Khalifa Sky Deck and Dubai Mall with Chocolate Tasting

Rise above the city, explore its grandest spaces, and end the day with an unforgettable taste of Dubai.


This guided tour offers a carefully curated introduction to Burj Khalifa Dubai, taking you from the base of the world's tallest tower all the way to its 124th-floor observation deck, then through the sprawling Dubai Mall and out to the iconic fountain promenade.

The route begins with a walk from the metro through Dubai Mall, a structure that rivals small cities in its scope. Along the way, your guide contextualises the architectural ambitions that have shaped modern Dubai, pointing out the design cues drawn from the native desert flower that inspired the Burj Khalifa itself.

After the ascent and a full tour of the mall's most notable features, the group moves outside to the waterfront promenade where traditional Abras share the water with the fountain's choreographed displays. The tour concludes at Wafi Gourmet for a seated chocolate tasting that has become one of Dubai's most talked-about culinary moments.

Tour Highlights

Ascend to the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa for panoramic views across the Dubai skyline and beyond.

Walk beside the Dubai Fountain and watch traditional Abras cross the waterway at the base of the tower.

Explore Dubai Mall's highlights including its aquarium, Olympic-sized ice rink, indoor waterfall, and new Chinatown district.

Stroll through the atmospheric Souk area within the mall complex, blending traditional market aesthetics with modern retail.

End the tour at Wafi Gourmet for Dubai's viral artisanal chocolate tasting experience, paired with light snacks and drinks.

Capture stunning skyline photography from the observation deck with guidance from an expert local guide.
