      Find out how much it costs to advertise on the world’s tallest building

      by

      If you want an advertisement on one of the most-loved landmarks in Dubai it comes at a cost.
      From baby shower announcements to brand advertisements, the world’s tallest tower has seen it all. Whether it’s a new collection launch or a message to shed light on any important cause, the Burj Khalifa acts as any XL advertising platform.

      Per Arabian Business, movie teasers or a message on the face of the Burj Khalifa start from a cool Dhs250,000 and that will only get you three minutes’ air time.
      For an extended two three-minute impression between 8pm and 10pm, the price is increased to Dhs500,000 and for five three-minute impressions any night between 7pm until midnight, the price is Dhs1 million.
      To add life to any display, music and sound can also complement the advertisement for an immersive experience, making it memorable for the audience to witness.
      In October 2022, a three-minute advertisement with the Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan was also on display, after an announcement about him being part of the Burjeel Holdings family was made.

      Happy to join the @BurjeelHoldings family as their compassion drives world-class healthcare in the UAE. @drshamsheervp #BurjeelHoldings pic.twitter.com/kPhfGLtnQt
      — Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) September 30, 2022

      However, knowing the prices is only the first step of the process. An initial request with MullenLowe must be made before getting final approval from the owner of Burj Khalifa, Emaar.
      After approval, a detailed creative concept is finalized four weeks prior to the advertisement with upfront payment before it goes live.
