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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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

I was delighted. It's an incredible, beautiful building outside. There was no queue in the morning. First you get into the history of antiquity, then a fast elevator with a glass wall. Two views that take your breath away and a transparent floor that not everyone dared to step on.

I went to look at the Dubai frame. The idea is ingenious in its simplicity: someone once looked at the city and said, "Let's... put up a huge frame. Just a frame. To make Dubai look like a painting." And you know what, it really works. From below, it looks like someone accidentally enlarged the photo frame to the size of a skyscraper and forgot to shrink it back down. You stand there, look up and think, "I wonder where the "hang on the wall" button is?" There's a glass floor at the top—the very attraction where you first pretend you're not afraid of heights, and then carefully check with your foot to see if it's a joke. The funniest thing is the view of old Dubai on one side and the new one on the other. It's like the city is showing two versions of itself.: "Before the update" and "After installing the "Skyscrapers and Lux 2.0" patch. " Overall, the place is great: — to see Dubai literally "framed" — to test your relationship with the glass floor — to take a photo where you look like part of the 9/10 exposure. A huge gold frame in the middle of the city sounds strange... but for Dubai, it seems quite logical.

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.

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.

Please note this if you order a taxi, they sell magnets, T-shirts, etc.at the exit below..we continue climbing, first we go through the cinema part, they show how Dubai developed, then all the utensils in the corridor, then the elevator, and go out at the top, the new city is on the right, the old one is on the left, you take a photo, the floor under your feet is glass and frosted, until you start walking.. it abruptly becomes transparent from your steps, high, interesting, especially in the evening!They sell coffee,tea,right in the middle of the aisle,the prices are adequate, you can drink hot tea with a beautiful view.Next is another elevator,and down ..A shop with knickknacks, I said above..and the exit!The ticket price is like $33 for two!There is a toilet on site, at the entrance after the ticket office!😉🙏

An interesting location, you can see Dubai from a height of 145 m. The idea is that you look at the city of the past in one direction, and at the future in the other. We were at around 4 p.m., there were no queues. Tickets are about 50 dirhams for adults, 20 for children.

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 👍👍👍

Well, for 50 dirhams, they'll just take you up in an elevator, you'll hang out with other tourists and go back. There is no wow view, it is difficult to find a place for a beautiful photo, as there are a lot of people. There's an even bigger queue at the entrance If you didn't have time to go here, you didn't lose much, there's a park next to the frame, I liked it better.

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.

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.

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.

The Dubai Frame is an impressive architectural landmark in Dubai's Zabil Park. It was opened to the public on January 1, 2018. The Guardian newspaper called the building "the largest picture frame on the planet." Main Features Height: 150.24 m (493 ft). Width: 93 m (305 ft). Materials: glass, steel, aluminum, reinforced concrete. Project cost: 230 million dirhams UAE (about 40 million US dollars). Start of construction: The year is 2013. History and concept The project was designed by architect Fernando Donis. His design won the 2009 international competition (ThyssenKrupp Elevator Award), where participants proposed an emblem reflecting the "new face of Dubai" (there were 926 proposals in total). The author conceived the frame not as another symbol of the city, but as a way to "frame" existing ones: to create a void measuring 150 ×105 meters, which would symbolically unite the past, present and future of Dubai.

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!

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.

Positive: beautiful and luxurious. It's technologically advanced inside. Cons: stock up on an orthopedic corset and a bottle of water - you will have to stand in 3 queues. That's about 1.5 hours in the queue, and 30 minutes in the frame. Think for yourself whether you need it or not. The ticket was 52.5 AED per adult before the New Year.

Don't take the tour, it's better to buy tickets online. You will save both time and money. It is better to visit on a weekday, there are not many people at all and there will be space for photos. The building itself is quite interesting, with compositions from the history of Dubai, as everything has developed since the time of pearl mining in a fishing village, presented at the entrance and exit. 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. Set aside about an hour and a half for everything to enjoy the views and take plenty of pictures. I definitely recommend it, the place is worth a visit.

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.
