More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Stepping onto the Dubai Frame is like striding into a frame of the city itself — the glass walkway thrusts you between two eras, with the glittering towers of downtown to the south and the low-rise courtyards of old Dubai to the north. The sky deck sits 150 meters above Zabeel Park, where the skyline opens like a living map and the city’s layers reveal themselves in one ordered sweep.
