Stand on a glass bridge 150 meters above Dubai and watch old and new cities split below. The Dubai Frame pairs skyline viewing with interactive exhibits on the emirate’s rapid transformation—ideal for a concise cultural stop in Zabeel Park.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into Zabeel Park and the frame rises ahead like an enormous window cut into the skyline—two towers joined by a glass-floor bridge 150 meters above the ground. From that narrow span the city splits: to the north, the older creeks and low-rise districts press forward; to the south, Burj Khalifa and glass towers stack into the sky. The view dares you to compare past and present at a glance.
