More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a vertical aperture between past and future: the Dubai Frame’s sky bridge lifts you 150 meters above Zabeel Park, the city unspooling north toward the creek and south into glass towers. Light from the desert sun cuts across the glass façade as the elevator carries you up; on the Sky Deck the city’s two faces unfold — the ochre of older neighborhoods and the chrome-lined ambitions of downtown.
