Sky Views Edge Walk
Ditch those boring glass balconies! The Sky Views Edge Walk is not about looking at the view through glass; it's about being in the view. Located at the Address Sky View Hotel in Downtown Dubai, this is the city’s highest, full-circle, hands-free walk on a building's exterior ledge. Strapped into a safety harness, you will step out onto a narrow platform, 219.5 meters (720 feet) above the ground (Level 53), and lean off the side of the skyscraper with nothing but air and the spectacular Dubai skyline beneath your feet.
It’s an extreme adrenaline rush, a supreme photo opportunity, and a personal challenge wrapped into one unforgettable experience. Captain Dunes provides the flawless transportation to this stunning downtown location, making sure you arrive focused and ready to face the drop.
Why This Walk is the Most Daring in Dubai
The Edge Walk is a thrilling experience that goes far beyond a typical sightseeing activity. Here's what sets it apart:
- Hands-Free Thrill: You are secured by a state-of-the-art safety harness, which allows you to move freely and even lean backward over the edge, with no railings or protective barriers in front of you!
- The Burj Khalifa View: The panoramic view is dominated by the majestic Burj Khalifa, which rises up right across the street. This is arguably the unique and thrilling vantage point for viewing the world's tallest building.
- Sky Views Combo: The Edge Walk ticket typically includes access to the Sky Views Observatory, where you can brave the Glass Slide (a completely transparent tube ride between Levels 53 and 52) and walk across the Glass Walk floor.
- Professional Photography: The entire experience is documented by a professional photographer. You'll get high-quality proof of the moment you lean off the side of a skyscraper, ensuring you capture that iconic shot.
- Safety First: Despite the incredible risk factor, safety is paramount. You are secured in a safety overall and helmet, and the harness system is double-checked by trained guides who accompany you every step of the way.

The Sky Views Edge Walk is an exclusive, single-location experience situated in the heart of the most famous district in the UAE:
