A 150m-high golden frame that splits old and new Dubai, the Dubai Frame delivers skyline panoramas, a glass walkway, and multimedia history in Zabeel Park. Plan for 60–100 minutes and book a sunset slot for the best light.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the shaded path of Zabeel Park and the Frame rises ahead — a 150m-high rectangle of gold-hued steel that literally frames the city. From the ground its scale is physical; from the bridge it reorients your sense of Dubai, with older neighborhoods at your back and a forest of towers ahead, their glass catching the late light like a dare.

Book a sunset slot
Tickets around sunset give dramatic lighting across Old and New Dubai and cooler temperatures for outdoor walking.
Use public transit or rideshare
Zabeel Park is best reached by metro or ride-share to avoid limited parking and park entry fees.
Mind the glass walkway
The glass bridge is safe but can feel exposed; if you’re photo-focused, go early in your time slot before crowds gather.
Carry water and a sun hat
Even short visits under Dubai sun can be dehydrating; bring water and sun protection for the walk to and from the entrance.
Light walking shoes
Comfortable shoes make standing on the glass walkway and moving through exhibits easier.
Sun hat or cap
Provides sun protection while walking across the park between transit and the entrance.
