Booking tickets for At the Top, Burj Khalifa online, has been made easy for Indian travellers planning a trip to Dubai. They can now use the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to make the payment for their visit to the popular attraction even before arriving in the UAE.

The new payment option has been introduced through a partnership between NEOPAY, NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) and Emaar Entertainment.

According to the companies, At the Top, Burj Khalifa is the first attraction in the UAE to accept UPI for e-commerce transactions. Indian visitors can pay through Burj Khalifa’s official website using their preferred payment method.

The launch expands NEOPAY’s partnership with NIPL, which first introduced QR-based UPI merchant payments in the UAE in 2022. While Indian visitors have already been able to make in-store UPI payments at participating merchants, they can now also pay online for tickets before travelling.

Vibhor Mundhada, CEO of NEOPAY, said the launch was ‘a landmark moment’ for the company. “By bringing one of India’s most trusted payment platforms to one of the world’s most iconic destinations, we are making it easier for millions of Indian visitors to engage with the UAE’s tourism and attractions sector,” he said.

He added that NEOPAY was the first company in the GCC to introduce UPI acceptance for e-commerce transactions. – editor@nrifocus.com
