Stand on a 100‑metre glass gallery and literally frame Dubai: one side reveals Old Dubai along the creek, the other bursts with glass towers. This quick urban attraction blends history, design, and panoramic city views.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Zabeel Park onto a wide plaza and the Dubai Frame rises ahead — two 150‑metre towers joined by a glass-floored gallery that frames the city like a living photograph. On one side, low-rise Deira and the winding creek press their histories up against the skyline; on the other, the Burj Khalifa and glass towers push the future into the sky. The walkway hums with shutter clicks and the steady thrum of elevators.
