Photography Tips
Flash photography is unnecessary (rooms and skydeck have ample natural light)
Sunset and early evening offer dramatic lighting on the skyline
For full-frame photos, shoot from outside in Zabeel Park to include the entire arch
Wide-angle lenses work best to capture both the frame and the distant cityscape
