Indian travellers can now book At the Top, Burj Khalifa tickets online using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), making it the first attraction in the UAE to accept the Indian payment system for e-commerce transactions. The facility, launched through a partnership between NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL), NEOPAY and Emaar Entertainment, enables visitors to pay on the attraction’s official website before arriving in Dubai. The move is expected to simplify pre-trip planning for Indian visitors and travel agents handling attraction bookings, while extending UPI’s cross-border acceptance beyond in-store payments to online travel purchases.
