Dubai Frame

Dubai Frame - Where The Past Meets The Future

There’s a spot in Dubai where the city’s past and future stand face-to-face, and you’re right in the middle of it. Dubai Frame is 150 meters high and 95 meters wide; that is why it links different historical eras and is considered more than just a landmark. 2,000 tons of steel, 2,900 m² of glass, and 9,900 cubic meters of concrete were used in its construction. It gleams in the sunlight like a golden portal.

Opened in 2018, this record-breaking attraction draws millions for its sky bridge views, glass-floor thrills, and time-travel galleries. With Captain Dunes, you’ll enjoy skipping the queues and taking in the beauty of Old Dubai on one side, with the stunning futuristic towers on the other - all captured in one breathtaking view.

Things To Do At The Dubai Frame

• Ride the express elevator to the Sky Deck and step over the glass-floored walkway for a vertigo-friendly view of Zabeel Park far below.
• Meander through the Old Dubai Gallery, with multimedia exhibits showing life from fishing and pearl diving to forts and heritage.
• Visit the Future Dubai Gallery, a tunnel of lights and sound offering speculative visions of how Dubai could look decades from now.
• Enjoy 360-degree views - on one side, you see Deira, Karama, and the creek; on the other, you’ll spot Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and the modern skyline.
• Don’t miss the golden hour at sunset; the structure glows, the city shifts colours, and the reflections make for stunning photos.
• Capture perfect photos at the outdoor terrace or near the glass bridge - both spots are designed for panoramic frames of the city.
