Dubai Frame
Walk across the glass-floored bridge at the top of the giant picture frame, with old Dubai on one side and the new skyline on the other.
About Dubai Frame
The Dubai Frame is a giant picture frame in Zabeel Park, close to the city centre. A lift takes you to the sky bridge at the top, where one side looks over Old Dubai — Deira, Karama and the Creek — and the other over the modern skyline along Sheikh Zayed Road.
Part of the bridge floor is glass, which gives a thrilling look straight down. Before you go up, a gallery tells the story of how Dubai grew from a small trading town. On the way down, a short exhibit imagines the city of the future.
A visit takes about an hour to an hour and a half, which makes it easy to fit into a busy day. It pairs well with Dubai Garden Glow, also in Zabeel Park, in the evening.
