More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through glass doors into a cool, well-lit room and the heat of Dubai’s streets falls away like a mirage. Panels reach across the floor and walls, painted so cleverly that a single angle turns paint into a plunging waterfall, a crocodile’s gaping jaw, or an Alice-in-Wonderland tea party. The museum moves you through nine themed zones where over 185 optical illusions demand poses and curiosity.
