December 26, 2023. Sunset 5:36 PM. Burj Khalifa- Dubai.
The ticket says it's good for 2 sunsets. Which one are we not looking at???
"Not quite sunset"
- Joe P.
OK-- Here's the explanation!!
check here for floor plan We were 125 stories high in that pic (but that’s not really the top) That same link sort of explains the 2 sunsets…see the Ramadan Observance section:
On the higher floors, the sun is seen for several minutes after it has set at ground level. Those living above the 80th floor should wait two extra minutes to break their Ramadan fast, and those living above the 150th floor should wait three minutes.
The sun sets 2 minutes later at the top and the elevator is really fast so you can watch the sunset on the ground then take the elevator to the top and watch it again.
