Step through the guarded entrance and the city’s heat collapses into cool marble and a cavernous atrium that feels engineered to impress. The guided 90‑minute tour moves like a practiced procession: a buggy ride from the wave‑shaped Jumeirah Beach Hotel, a photo stop halfway across the private bridge, then into a world of gilded ceilings, glass elevators and an atrium that rises nearly two city blocks.
