Dubai Frame is a really unique spot you shouldn’t miss. It’s not just about the height - it’s about the view that shows the contrast between old and modern Dubai in one frame. Walking on the glass floor adds a little thrill, and the photos there turn out amazing. Definitely worth a visit!

An architectural landmark shaped like a giant golden picture frame — symbolizing the link between old and new Dubai. Inside, you can walk across a glass bridge with incredible skyline views. It’s one of the most Instagrammable spots in the city.

Visiting Dubai, it is impossible not to visit Dubai Frame, it is incredibly beautiful there! Underfoot the floor disappears and becomes glassy! We took a lot of beautiful photos, from here you can really see both the old and the new city. At the very beginning, you pass a place where you can plunge into the history of this wonderful emirate!

The frame looks very nice in real life. There is a magnificent view of the whole of Dubai from the top. I recommend to visit the frame, but be ready for a terribly long queue.

As you start exploring the building you get to see the history of the UAE. They introduce how the country was centuries back and their tradition. I liked. Of course you may see the beauty of the Dubai from 48th floor. Its worth the money and not that expensive. Free parking is available

The Dubai frame is a huge gold—plated structure in the shape of a 150-meter-high photo frame. Her idea is to show the old Dubai on the one hand, and the new one on the other, including the Burj Khalifa. A visit is a journey through time. First you get to the museum, which tells about the city's past. Then you take a high-speed elevator up to the glass observation deck at the top. The main attraction is the transparent floor, which creates the effect of weightlessness at altitude. At the end, the gallery of the future shows what Dubai can become. This is a unique and spectacular experience that allows you to see the contrasting history and present of the city in one visit.

It's not right to be around and not visit this place. It's worth seeing the city from such a height, especially since the frame is intentionally positioned on the border separating the old and new cities. We visited this place in September 2025, for the second time, together with my son. Tickets were bought on the spot. There were no queues, although it was impossible to say that there were few visitors. The flow is almost continuous. Some on their own, some on tour buses. The place is perfectly clean, from the parking lot to the topmost point of the frame. Since we arrived closer to sunset, we found a day and night view of the city on the observation deck. ☝️It's really interesting. Two birds with one stone in one visit. Of course, when we visited this place for the first time, the "WOW" effect was simply incredible! Everything was new, the view under our feet, when the frosted glass became transparent and everything below was under our feet... unbelievable! The interactive stands, the interiors, they struck us with something cosmic, from the future or something ... Now, almost 8 years later, since visiting for the first time, of course, such an effect has not happened to us, but we watched my son's reaction with interest. We spent time together enthusiastically and comfortably. 👍 After visiting the frame, heading back to the exit, thanks to the beautiful evening lighting and the opportunity to sit behind glass in an air-conditioned room or smoke at a table outside with a cup of coffee, they could not pass by a small cafe.Cozy armchairs, ice cream, coffee and a beautiful view of the frame became a pleasant addition to our self-guided tour.

You can look at the diverse Dubai from the Dubai Frame, which separates the new and old parts of the city.🌟 But take your time into account the queues, it took us 1.5 hours at lunchtime. First on the street, then inside the building to the elevators. Along the way, you will be guided through the historical part of the museum. An adult ticket cost 50 AED. The interior is well maintained, the windows are clean, through which you can admire the horizon. There is a transparent floor, with which everyone is photographed too) Since people are launched in groups, there are no crowds here. There is a landscaped park around the Frame, which has literally everything.

I really enjoyed visiting the Dubai Frame in the evening. The frame looks very expensive at night. There weren't many tourists at that time. Immediately at the entrance, the museum is represented by an interactive exhibition of ancient Dubai, the transparent floor at the top of the museum was impressive (despite the fact that it is not as long as on the Sky Views observation deck), oriental sweets are also offered for sale, and at the exit you can see the media idea of the museum from the past to the future. And, of course, you can also buy souvenirs here.

Dubai Frame is one of those places in Dubai that is really worth a visit. It's a very beautiful location: there are fountains around, the Frame itself is covered with golden panels and literally shines in the sun — it looks mesmerizing. We took the elevator up to about the 50th floor. Before the ascent, there is a small interactive museum tour that tells the story of the creation and development of the Emirates. Everything is done in a very modern and atmospheric way. The most striking impression is the glass floor above. When you look at it, it's matte and looks quite ordinary... but once you step on it, it becomes completely transparent. I admit, it was scary, but I pulled myself together, overcame myself and passed. And I didn't regret it — it's an incredible experience. Upstairs, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of Dubai: you can see the Burj Khalifa and the whole city in the palm of your hand. I especially recommend going there at sunset — when the city is illuminated with golden light, it looks just magical. Dubai Frame is a mandatory item of the program in Dubai. The impressions are vivid, beautiful and definitely last a long time!

Greetings, GOKi! Today we will discuss the Dubai Frame photo studio. The Dubai Frame is an architectural landmark in Zabil Park in Dubai (UAE). It resembles a giant picture frame. Sizes: The height is 150 meters, the width is 93 meters. Location: the frame is located next to Gate No. 4, the nearest metro station is Al Jafiliya (red line). Opening hours: in 2025, the frame is open daily from 09:00 to 21:00. History: The idea of the building belongs to the architect Fernando Donis. The project won an international competition in 2009 with the aim of giving Dubai a "new face". Construction: started in 2013 and continued until the end of 2017. The official opening for visitors took place on January 1, 2018. KupiBilet.ru Architecture Two towers 150 meters high each, connected at the top by a 93-meter glass bridge. The building has 48 floors in total. The exterior of the building is covered with gilding in the form of a pattern with intersecting circles of different diameters. The observation deck covers the upper part of the frame, and the glass-bottomed floors look down 150 meters. Transparent glass floor — a narrow section of the site is made of "smart glass": it is frosted, but it is worth stepping on any area, and it immediately becomes transparent. The exposition: Inside the building there is a museum recreating three time periods in the history of Dubai: past, present and future. The exhibitions are decorated in a multimedia style and include video presentations, reconstructions, photographs and installations. Some elements of the exposition: The exposition of the "Past" is on the lower level of the building, introduces the culture, way of life and lifestyle of old Dubai. The exhibition of the "Present" is on the top floor, featuring art objects that visualize the modern achievements of the city. The "Future" zone, an immersive space designed in the style of science fiction, shows what Dubai will become in the future: flying cars, vertical farms, smart cities, eco-projects and digital reality. Excursions: To visit the facilities are offered, for example: The three—stage tour includes a short film about the history of Dubai from the desert to the metropolis, a trip to the top, and then watching a film about the future of the city with 3D effects.

For some reason, this landmark in Dubai is not particularly known to tourists, but for those who know, this is actually a plus. This viewing platform surprised me very much and pleasantly! The entrance is inexpensive (by Dubai standards, it's just pennies), and the view is simply stunning - moreover, there are skyscrapers on one side of the arch, and an Arab flavor on the other! A glass floor with tiles disappearing under you is not for the faint of heart. The arch itself is very, very beautiful, there are many cafes around. This place doesn't appear often in reviews, but believe me, it's definitely worth a visit.

The Golden Frame in Dubai (Dubai Frame) is formed by two towers 150 meters high, which are connected at the top by a 93-meter glass bridge. There is an observation deck at the top of the frame, which can be reached by high-speed elevator in 75 seconds. Additional entertainment is a glass bridge at a height of 150 meters. It was even scary to step right away) There is also a small museum inside the Dubai Frame, the exhibition tells about the development of the city and its future. And of course, this is the largest frame in the world - they love all kinds of records in the UAE)

When visiting the frame, you need to clearly understand that you will lose 1.5-2 hours in the queue. Just like in Burj Khalifa, the problem is elevators! More precisely, their small number. But it's excusable, there was no such tourist flow in the early 2000s, 4 * only for such a miscalculation of the architects. When making an attraction of this scale, it is strange not to think about the ascent. Standing in line on the street, then at the entrance, then in the lobby... you will enter a tunnel with the history of the UAE and the history of construction. Then you will take the elevator up to 150m and get to the observation deck. On the one hand, there are high-rise buildings, on the other - an ordinary old city, like the past and the future, new and old Dubai. The frame divides the emirate in half. The glass floor is attractive, the heart freezes. And the views, of course, are beautiful. There's nothing else up there. After going downstairs, you will see a corridor with projections of the city of the future. The place can be visited, even necessary. But the queues were just exhausting. You need to be mentally prepared for them.

We climbed the frame on our own. The cost is about 50 dirhams for adults and 21 dirhams for children (under 12 years old). The elevator is high-speed with a glass wall, the floor is illuminated like lamps. The frame itself glows quite strongly, so it's not very easy to catch beautiful photos. There are several historical expositions in the entrance area, and "getting into the world of the future" at the exit. The glass floor on the frame is double, and it also partially glows in the evening. You can get there by car - there is a paid parking of 10 dirhams per day nearby, or by metro - the station is about 800 meters away.

A bird's-eye view of the Burj Khalifa is a good budget alternative. It costs 52.50 dirhams per adult and 21 dirhams per child (3-12 years old). First you get to an interactive exhibition telling about the history of the city, after that you take the elevator up and on one side you can see views of modern areas, and on the other side you can see historical quarters. If you step on a glass floor, it becomes transparent.

Dubai Frame: futuristic, technological, picturesque, spectacular, spectacular, scary (a transparent floor at a height of 150 m is not for the faint of heart and/or people with a weak vestibular apparatus). But it's worth overcoming your own fear: you will be rewarded with stunning views of the metropolis, especially expressive with evening lighting. During the day, the patterned panels of the towers of this iconic art object in the form of a huge picture frame glow with a pleasant golden light and color. An interesting and accessible Dubai landmark on the border of the old and new city. It is definitely recommended to visit

An unusual place, high up, offers a view from the top of the old part of the city and the new one. There are parts with a transparent floor. You can make a dummy as a keepsake. Definitely worth a trip, much cheaper than the Burj Khalifa. We got up quickly, without queues, the time spent is unlimited, there is a small queue at the exit, but it passes quickly.

An interesting structure made of shiny metal from the outside. There's an observation deck above. Unlike the Burj Khalifa, there are few people here. That's why there are no queues. At the top, in addition to the observation room, there is also a transparent floor. There's a gift shop at the exit. The entrance ticket is 50 dirhams per person.

I really enjoyed the tour and the climb to the frame. On the one hand, how Dubai was born, and an overview of the life of the Bedouins, their way of life, work, etc. Next, you lift up and see the old and new city, the glass floor looks very impressive. Then, taking the elevator down to another part of the frame, you get into the future and can see what Dubai will look like in 2050.

The tickets were bought at the box office with 52.5 dirhams. The queue is not too big, although we were on Sunday. You walk through the corridors, there's a little story about the UAE, then you stand in line for the elevator. You climb to the top. There is a view of the city. And of course, you walk along the glass path to see the panorama below. The glass is frosted at first, when you step it becomes transparent. The kids and I really enjoyed it 👍👍👍

It's a cool place. It is better to come after sunset, then you will see singing fountains in front of the frame. I 'll have to wait in line for the entrance and then for the elevator. Go down through the queue too. But it's worth it. It's very informative and atmospheric. Lanterns are lit very beautifully on the territory in the evening. You can get there by metro, then by bus f 09, although they sometimes do not adhere to the schedule. By the way, there is a huge store across the street where everything costs 10 dirhams. There is everything in this store. In the likeness of our Planet store. Souvenirs, all sorts of clothes. I recommend that you definitely go there.

I would like to share my impressions of the Golden Frame in Dubai, because this is a truly unique place that every traveler, especially families with children, should see. So, let's start with the main impression: The Gold Frame is literally covered in gold! Imagine a huge glass bridge about 150 meters above the ground, lined with real 24-carat gold. It's impossible to forget! We were amazed by the scale and splendor of the building. Now about the views: when you go up to the observation deck, you get a breathtaking view of the whole city. In front of you are panoramas of skyscrapers, luxury hotels and artificial islands, as if descended from the pictures of science fiction films. The view of the famous Burj Khalifa and the Burj Al Arab sail Hotel is especially impressive. During the day, the landscape looks majestic, and in the evening, when the backlight turns on, it becomes magical. As for the atmosphere inside the frame itself: the space is very stylishly decorated, gold sparkles everywhere, soft musical compositions are playing, creating a special atmosphere of the fabulous East. Believe me, it's a pleasure to be photographed here, the pictures are amazing! I advise you to definitely go up to the upper outdoor terrace, from where you can take the most vivid photos. But keep in mind that the sun burns heavily during the day, so I recommend coming in the late afternoon, when it's cooler and there are fewer queues. Summary: The Golden Frame is a must see in Dubai, and visiting this place will leave unforgettable memories for your family for a long time.

I'll say right away it's not worth the money and time spent. We arrived at 5 p.m., and we bought tickets on the official website. We stood in line until everyone was photographed, and we said we didn't need to be photographed, to which they replied, "Stand in line anyway." We took the elevator up, the only thing that surprised me was that while you were walking to the elevator, there was a mini museum where they talk about the country and how their people used to live. The installations are very beautifully made. Climbing to the top is not very interesting at this time of day. I can't really see anything. There is a transparent glass floor in the middle. You can also make commemorative coins in the machine, there are 4 of them and each has a different coin, the cost is 10 dirhams. That's all, I probably should have gone in the morning or when it starts to get dark. There's a camel milk ice cream truck on the street opposite- oh my God, it's incredibly delicious! It tastes like melted milk chocolate. Don't eat too much, it tastes very sweet and fatty, even though it has only 2% fat content. But it's worth a try, it costs about 12-15 dirhams.

We went there a few days ago, in the evening, and liked everything except the view of the city, but this is generally a problem in Dubai, where the lighting of the observation deck from the inside makes it difficult to take normal photos. A glass floor is not very strange, because there are still two "double-glazed windows" separated from each other, there is no "presence effect". But the very idea of an observation deck with a museum is not bad, plus there are few people in the evening and the price tag for passage is not very high (by local standards). Of the minuses, there is also the standard presence of the "photomafia", however, not the most annoying. It is worth writing about the park separately, since you need to purchase separate tickets to enter it (sort of). But we were lucky, there was no one at the entrance where the tickets were sold, and the guard let us into the park using tickets for the frame itself, which were taken in advance on the platinum list with a small discount. There are a lot of cats in the park, a nice little bonus. And you have to walk through the amphitheater in it strictly straight, otherwise you can get lost and run into the fences at entrance number 4. And the entrance to the frame itself is located at the 3rd and 4th entrances to the park. If you entered the park through the others, then there is a gate near the 3 entrances, where you will need to show the tickets to the guard, then show them at the entrance to the frame itself.

It's a great idea that the local authorities have implemented for tourists. A creative object, made very beautifully and technologically. The idea itself: A tall building in the form of a frame. If you look in one direction through the frame, you see old Dubai. That's where it all started. And if you look the other way, you already see a new city with all the skyscrapers and "modernity". There is a certain path from the past to the future. Building: A tall modern building. Surrounded by a fence and a mini park inside. To get in, you need to buy a ticket and go through the entrance. At the entrance to the building, your tickets will be checked and you will get in line for the elevator to go to the top. As you walk to the elevator, you will encounter installations in the hallway that tell the story of Dubai. They let you into the elevator in portions, and you don't have to wait long. There is a glass wall in the elevator and you can see the city as you ascend. Already at the top, staff will meet you and ask you to follow the safety rules and not jump on the glass windows. Yes, the floors are made of glass, you can walk on them. It's a very interesting experience, and many people take pictures there. If you don't like this kind of extreme, don't worry, regular floors are also available)) And of course, panoramic Windows in both directions (on the old part of the city and the modern one. I admit, there is something to look at (to take a closer look at). The weather in Dubai is usually sunny, so excellent visibility for many kilometers. I won't tell you exactly what is visible there, it's better to see for yourself, it's interesting. There are large binoculars on both sides. They work like an attraction, I paid for it and looked at it. There are also shops with souvenirs, sweets and drinks. Well, after watching it, you go down in the same elevator in the opposite part of the building. Prices:inexpensive by local standards. I think it's because the tour itself is very fast. Our friends recommended that we definitely get on it, and we did not regret it. A very interesting object and idea

We got there on our own by metro. Tickets were bought on the spot (100 dirhams per person). There was no queue. The frame impresses with its size, it is a huge structure that cannot be captured at close range. Inside, there is first a small exhibit telling the story of the UAE. Then there's an observation deck with a glass floor, with views of old Dubai on one side and modern Dubai on the other. Guests can relax on the benches on site. I recommend you to visit.

Dubai Frame or the Golden Frame of Dubai is a relatively new and truly impressive landmark. Its height is 150 meters and its width is 93 meters. It can be seen literally from everywhere! The frame is like a window between old and new Dubai. On the one hand, it offers a view of modern skyscrapers, and if you look in the other direction, you can see the historical districts of Bur Dubai and Deira. The frame is lined with gilding and looks very impressive both in the sun and in the evening. Inside the Dubai Frame there is an interactive museum of the history of the United Arab Emirates, as well as an observation deck with a transparent floor – the very attraction that attracts many tourists. You can get to the frame either by taxi or by metro. The nearest station to the frame is Max Metro Station, from which you need to go towards Zabeel Park, then you will need a fourth entrance. Tickets can be purchased both at the ticket office and at the vending machines at the entrance to the park. A very unusual and truly impressive place! I recommend you to visit!

A good landmark location, an interesting view of the Old and New City from a height of 40+ floors. A modern atmosphere, interesting interactive installations at the exit. We accidentally got there on a big Muslim holiday - I strongly advise you not to repeat it. The queue is 300 people, the waiting time is several hours. I recommend it on weekdays - a few dozen people, no crowds. And the sunset is gorgeous, yes.... There is a large Zaabil park at the bottom of the Frame. The entrances to the park are separate from the frame, the ticket is 5 dirhams.

The view is fascinating both of the building itself and its observation decks. On the one hand there is a view of the new Dubai with skyscrapers, on the other hand there is a view of the streets of the old stunted Dubai. There is a transparent floor on the playground, which disappears while walking. In addition to the observation deck, there are two museums: about the old and new Dubai of the future. Museums are interactive. There are no queues. There are a lot of taxis at the exit from the frame. There is a place for a set of cold drinking water in a bottle. The ticket prices are pleasant.
