More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into a plaza ringed by palm-lined lawns and the geometric silhouette of two 150-meter towers joined by a 100-square-meter sky bridge. The glass-planked walkway hangs over the city like a postcard come to life: on one side the low-rise alleys and wind-tower silhouettes of old Dubai, on the other the needle-line skyline anchored by Burj Khalifa.

History
The Dubai Frame opened in 2018 as a modern landmark meant to juxtapose the city’s rapid transformation; its galleries document Dubai’s evolution from creekside trading post to global hub.
Conservation
The Frame sits within Zabeel Park, an urban green space managed to balance recreation with landscape preservation—obey signage, avoid littering, and stick to paths to protect planted areas.
