Dubai's Burj Khalifa has now allowed Indians to book 'At the Top' tickets using UPI — making it the first attraction in Dubai to accept UPI payments, according to Khaleej Times. Visitors can complete the transaction from India before even departing for the UAE.
UPI was added to Burj Khalifa's payment options through a partnership between UAE-based payments company Neopay, Emaar Entertainment and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) — a landmark collaboration connecting India's most popular payment system to one of the world's most iconic destinations.
The standard 'At the Top' ticket covering floors 124 and 125 is priced at ₹4,243 per person. Visitors get panoramic views of Dubai from the observation deck — now bookable in advance from India using their UPI app of choice.
Visiting the At the Top SKY observation deck on floor 148 costs ₹10,393 per person — which also includes snacks and drinks, making it a more premium and complete experience above the clouds of Dubai.
By spending approximately ₹10,000 more, visitors get access to all levels — including the 154th floor — along with entry to the world's highest lounge and outdoor terrace, a rare experience at the very top of the world's tallest building.
The UAE has allowed QR code-based UPI payments for e-commerce transactions since 2022. Neopay CEO Vibhor Mundhada called the Burj Khalifa integration "a landmark moment" — making it easier for millions of Indian visitors to engage with UAE tourism using a payment method they already trust daily.
