Dubai Frame Tickets: Price, Timings and What to See

1

What is the Dubai Frame and where is it?

The Dubai Frame is a 150 metre tall, 93 metre wide golden frame in Zabeel Park, opened in January 2018, that lets you view Old Dubai and New Dubai from a glass Sky Deck at the top.

Designed by architect Fernando Donis and inspired by the Arabic concept of “Khatt”, the steel and glass structure stands like a giant window over the city, symbolising Dubai’s journey from a fishing town to a global capital. At night it is lit by an LED light show.
