The Dubai Frame puts the city’s past and future on display from a 150-metre vantage in Zabeel Park. This ticketed visit with pickup and drop-off combines a glass-floor viewpoint, a compact multimedia museum, and easy access for first-time visitors.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step onto the upper rim of the Dubai Frame and the city rearranges itself: to the north, a serrated skyline of glass and cranes marches along Sheikh Zayed Road; to the south, low-rise neighborhoods and older Dubai fold away toward the creek. The glass walkway at the top gives a vertiginous, transparent floor underfoot and a clear line between then and now.
