just ride dubai metro alight to dubai mall / burj khalifa station. there is approximately 1 kilometer walk from station to the main lobby (inside dubai mall) of At The Top burj khalifa observation terrace.

Before entering this building, it is a MUST to purchase entrance ticket in advance because walk-in visit will took the visit schedule minimum of 2 days after booking. Thus, the visit is always fully booked. i purchased my ticket online in more than a week before my chosen date. No time limit when I reached the viewing deck at 124th floor, the highest in the world.
