The elevator hums, the city tilts into a grid of glass and sand, and within a minute you’re looking out from 124/125 — where the Gulf, the desert and the skyline argue for attention. From the observation deck the Palm Jumeirah curls like a carved crescent, Dubai Marina stitches dense towers together, and the desert pushes its pale horizon toward the city.
