You step through a hum of air-conditioning into a different weather system: warm, humid air wraps around you and the overhead canopy closes in like a living ceiling. Light filters through artificial leaves, and the slow movement of a sloth catches the corner of your eye—this is The Green Planet, Dubai’s four-level bio-dome that recreates a tropical rainforest in the middle of a desert city.
