Overview
The Dubai Frame is more than just an architectural landmark — it’s a visual and experiential journey through Dubai’s remarkable transformation from a humble fishing village to a global metropolis. Rising 150 meters above Zabeel Park, this giant rectangular frame offers panoramic views of old Dubai to the north and modern Dubai to the south, symbolizing the city’s unique ability to balance tradition with innovation.
What to Expect at Dubai Frame
From the moment you step into the Dubai Frame, you’re immersed in a multimedia experience designed to educate and inspire. The attraction is divided into three zones:
1. Old Dubai Gallery
Your journey begins on the ground floor, where interactive exhibits and immersive visuals showcase Dubai’s rich cultural heritage — from pearl diving and Bedouin life to the bustling souks and early urban development.

The glass elevator takes you to the Sky Deck, offering 360-degree views of both old and new Dubai. One side reveals historic districts like Deira and Karama, while the other side captures the gleaming skyscrapers of Downtown Dubai, including the iconic Burj Khalifa.
