Dubai Frame
The Dubai Frame is an observatory, museum, and monument located in Zabeel Park, Dubai. This remarkable architectural structure has earned the title of the world’s largest frame, standing 150.24 meters tall and 95.53 meters wide. Its primary function as an observatory offers stunning views of historic Dubai to the north and the modern areas of the emirate to the south.
The Frame provides an engaging journey through three eras of the UAE: the past, present, and future.
The Past – Old Dubai Gallery. Visitors embark on their adventure at the mezzanine floor, where a multimedia exhibition features 3D projections and special effects, creating a multi-sensory experience that showcases Old Dubai. Explore the depth of Emirati traditions and heritage, and witness the city’s evolution from a humble fishing village to a distinguished global destination.
Present Dubai – Views of Old and New Dubai. After your exploration of Old Dubai, you’ll ride a fast express lift that ascends to the Sky Deck in only 47 seconds, revealing Present Dubai. Here, you can take in a stunning 360-degree panorama that highlights both the historical allure of Old Dubai and the contemporary skyline, prominently featuring the iconic Burj Khalifa in Downtown. One of the highlights is walking on the famous transparent glass floor.
The Future Dubai Gallery - after finishing the Sky Deck experience, guests return to the mezzanine floor and step into a lively tunnel filled with dynamic lights and sounds, depicting what Dubai might resemble in 50 years. The vibrant colors create an atmosphere akin to journeying through a time vortex into Dubai’s future.
The Frame operates daily from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and is open year-round, including weekends and public holidays. If you intend to visit Zabeel Park too, it’s advisable to verify its operating hours, as they may differ from those of the Frame; typically, Zabeel Park is open from 8:00 am to 11:00 pm. The Frame can be accessed via Gate 4 at Zabeel Park. For those arriving by car, parking is available at Zabeel Park. If you're travelling by metro, disembark at the Al Jafiliya Metro Station on the Red Line and walk towards Zabeel Park.
