Perched 150 meters above Zabeel Park, the Dubai Frame frames two eras of the city in one sweep. Visit for the compact museum, the glass skybridge and memorable north-south panoramas—best at golden hour.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Zabeel Park into a pair of vertical golden towers that frame the city like a living photograph. The Dubai Frame rises 150 meters above the grounds, its 100-square-meter skybridge joining old and new Dubai in a single panorama. From the glassed walkway the creek and low-rise Al Fahidi district sit to the north while the needle of Burj Khalifa and the skyline sprawl to the south; wind and sun play differently on each side, and the city seems to argue with itself.
