Burj Khalifa Becomes First UAE Attraction to Accept UPI for Online Bookings
Indian travellers can now use the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) to book tickets online for At the Top, Burj Khalifa, making it the first UAE attraction to accept UPI for e-commerce. This service, launched by NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) in partnership with NEOPAY and Emaar Entertainment, extends UPI acceptance from in-store QR payments to online bookings. The initiative aims to simplify payment processes for Indian visitors before their arrival in Dubai, enhancing cross-border digital payment connectivity between India and the UAE.
