Photography Tips
• Use the outdoor terrace to avoid reflections from the glass; in low light, rest your camera on a railing for stability
• Twilight (blue hour) provides stunning city lights and dramatic skies
• A wide-angle lens captures the full 360° view; a zoom lens will let you frame distant landmarks like Palm Jumeirah
