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!

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

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.

The frame was more impressive than the Burj Khalifa in terms of price and quality of impressions, and actually, this overpriced tower can be seen from the frame site. We were at the end of July on a weekday, there were no queues, there were not so many people on the site itself to interfere with each other much. I liked the observation elevators, through the windows of which it is interesting to watch the ascent, I liked the interactive part of the floor on the landing, which becomes transparent if you step on it. I also liked the very concept of the collision of the "old-new", "past-future", the frame separates the old and relatively new parts of the city, at the entrance it greets with an exposition about Dubai's past, and at the exit - with a film about Dubai 2050. And the building itself looks beautiful, sparkling gold in the bright Danube sun. I would love to visit it a second time, which I cannot say about the Burj Khalifa.

One of the many Dubai sites listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. The reviews are different, but we personally liked the frame very much, the transparent floor looks creepy from such a height, as for me, people were taking pictures and sitting and lying down, I was afraid to step on it))) The cost of 55 dirhams per person (approximately 1300 rubles) tickets were bought directly at the box office, there were no huge queues. I really liked how everything is decorated, it also looks very nice from the street, and you can take a walk in the park nearby. The views are gorgeous. A small frame souvenir was taken with them to the Crimea. I am happy with the visit.

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.

Interesting and unusual 👍The entrance and exit feature compositions from the history of Dubai, as everything has developed since the time of pearl mining in a fishing village. The output shows a three-dimensional video presentation about Dubai of the future. At the very top, the views are amazing, but the most spectacular thing is the transparent floor on which you can walk. On one side of the frame is the new, modern Dubai, and on the other the old city.I definitely recommend it, the place is worth a visit.

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!

An interesting and beautiful art object. Below is a small museum of Dubai history. Then the elevator takes you up to the observation deck. There are viewing glass windows on the floor below. On one side you can see the old town, and on the other - the new one. There is a beautiful park next to the frame.

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.

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.

I visited the Frame during the daytime, of course, it is better to do this in the evening, when the lights of the city are on. I didn't like the fact that the queues are incredibly huge! I stood outside for 40 minutes and another 30 minutes while the queue went to the elevator. At some point, a photographer meets you at the entrance, but you can refuse, they won't beat you)) On the ground floor, as you progress, you can explore various exhibits, as there is an exhibition that tells how Dubai was built. Taking the elevator, you find yourself in a long hall with panoramic windows. You will like the floor, which becomes transparent as you advance)) I took the star off because of the queues ..

Great location in Dubai. The height of the frame is 150 meters. There are several elevators going up to the top. There is a glass floor inside, you can have a snack and drink coffee. Very nice view of Dubai, especially in the evening at sunset. The park itself is also very remarkable. You can walk and sit on the benches. There is a fountain. And the view from above is amazing.

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.

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 is one of the most impressive places in Dubai! The huge "golden frame" looks mesmerizing both during the day and especially at night when the bright backlight turns on. 🌃✨ From the upper bridge, you can enjoy stunning views of two Dubai cities at once — the modern one with skyscrapers and the historical one with older neighborhoods. The glass floor adds a bit of adrenaline, but the feeling is incredible! It is very convenient that there is a well-maintained park nearby, where you can walk and take beautiful photos. Dubai Frame is definitely worth a visit — a unique attraction that you will remember for a long time!

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.

The ticket is about 50 dirhams, the queue is as lucky as you are... you can enter in 20 minutes, or you can (like me, for example) stand for more than 2 hours... I recommend you to visit! The very idea of this frame is interesting: when you stand at the top, looking in one direction, you see a modern city with its skyscrapers, and looking in the other direction you see the historical part of the city with low-rise ancient buildings. The glass floor at a height of more than a hundred meters is impressive... It causes interesting emotions!

It's a very peculiar object. I recommend you to visit. The tour went great. There aren't many people. The tickets were bought on the spot and passed. From below it seems that the frame is not very big. However, when you get up, it's scary to stand on the glass floor there. Fortunately, the glass floor is only in the middle of the frame, and the edges are ordinary. A life hack on how to enter a glass floor. You turn on the camera on your phone, look through the phone and go. On the third pass, you can already do it without a phone.

One of Dubai's iconic places to visit. The price is very affordable. The entrance is via 2 elevators, so you will most likely have to stand in line. In the process of moving to the elevator, you can see a small historical exhibition. From above, the views are excellent both of the old town and the modern part (the haze, of course, can make adjustments).

Dubai Frame — represents a window on the conditional border between the old and new Dubai. On one side there is a view of modern attractions, such as Burj Khalifa and skyscrapers along Sheikh Zayed Road, and on the other – the old parts of the city (Bur Dubai and Deira). The dimensions of the structure are 150 m high (which is 11 m higher than the Egyptian pyramid of Giza) and 93 m wide. And such proportions are not accidental, because such architecture embodies the "golden ratio", which is an ideal form and eternal balance in art. The surface cladding is gilded. Inside there is a multimedia exhibition that tells about the history of the emirate through animation, holographic effects, traditional folk music and even fragrances. Visitors can access the Sky Deck observation deck at the top of the frame. And fans of extreme sensations can walk along the 50-meter liquid crystal glass bridge. The bridge's special floor covering reacts to footsteps: the glass floor becomes transparent, creating the illusion of floating in the air. The immersive exhibition Future Zone tells about Dubai's plans for the next 50 years: flying taxis, underwater houses and space travel...

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

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.

You won't spend much time there, but the views are beautiful.
