More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the heat into a pair of golden legs that rise 150 meters above Zabeel Park — a literal frame that separates two cities. On one side the low-rise alleys and traditional rooftops of old Dubai stretch toward the Creek; on the other, glass towers and cranes puncture the skyline. The glass sky bridge hums with nervous excitement as visitors lean over the transparent floor and watch the city tilt beneath them.
