Stand on a glass sky deck 150 metres above Dubai and watch the city split into past and present. The Dubai Frame pairs a compact exhibition with panoramic views — ideal for a focused 1–2 hour urban outing.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a thin strip of glass and the city rearranges itself — to the north, low-rise clusters and the ordered alleys of Old Dubai; to the south, a jagged skyline that keeps growing. The Dubai Frame is literally a window between two eras: a 150‑metre tower and 93‑metre crossbar whose sky deck and glass walkway give a vertiginous vantage of urban contrast.

History
Completed in 2018 after an international design competition, the Dubai Frame was conceived to present a deliberate visual line between older neighborhoods to the north and Dubai’s modern towers to the south.
Conservation
Zabeel Park management monitors foot traffic and maintenance; visitors are asked to avoid littering and follow exhibit rules to protect both the structure and park environment.
