The viewing platform was closed without much explanation on Sunday. Electrical issues appear to have been an issue leading to the the closure of the Burj Khalifa’s viewing platform.

The closure is indefinite.

The building is 2,717-foot tall; tourists bought viewing tickets priced at more than $27 each.
