More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step out onto the Dubai Frame’s glassed edge and the city rearranges itself: old low-rise neighborhoods to the north, a glittering ribbon of towers to the south. Later, the dhow’s hull rocks you into the Marina, where neon reflections stitch the water and the skyline leans close.
