You step out of the elevator onto a glass-fronted observation level and Dubai’s skyline rearranges itself beneath you — a lattice of steel, glass and the slow sweep of the creek toward the Persian Gulf. From Level 52–53 at Address Sky View, the Observatory frames Burj Khalifa, the Dubai Fountain and the geometric stretch of new city as if the metropolis were pushing itself toward the horizon.
