Guest photos, reviews, and location details powered by
The UAE’s cultural landmark, Dubai Frame is an iconic structure that ‘frames’ impressive views of Old and New Dubai, while serving as a metaphorical bridge connecting the emirate’s rich past with its magnificent present. Dubai Frame celebrates the story of Dubai from its early establishment to its ambitious plans for future development. Launched in January 2018, the project comprises a 150-metre-high, 95-meter-wide structure being built to resemble a huge picture frame, through which landmarks representing modern Dubai such as Emirates Towers and Burj Khalifa can be seen on one side, while from the other side, visitors can view older parts of the city such as Deira and Karama. Exterior design of Dubai Frame was inspired from the logo of EXPO2020 and it is world's largest picture frame by Guinness World Records. According to Dubai Frame general policy, guests are requested to wear respectful clothing: shoulders and knees to be covered.

The dubai frame was the cheapest atraction, but fastest also. You just see the views of the old dubai and on the other side the new dubai. you can purchase some food there too. There will be a shop of souveniers at the end of the tour.
I have a disability access card from own country. They do not honour overseas card. When i asked at the ticket office the person said can you not read the sign, which i found so rude. I was fine with paying for an entry ticket, its not that exspensive. What I was not fine with was not being allowed to use the disability quee system. If you disabled dont come here. They make you quee out side for nearly an hour. Then quee in side, and hold people in a display area with flashing lights and loud music. Then you have to join long quee to go back down. There are no seats, no were to rest. There are other attractions in dubi that are far more accomdating and disable friendly.

We visited on Monday 3rd November and got there for opening around 9ish. It was very quiet and no queues however later on around 10:30 when leaving we noticed there was big queues so go early to avoid this! We really enjoyed our visit and loved the glass walkway. It was very clean inside and cool with air con as expected. The views were great. The exterior at the bottom of the frame was nicely presented. Cost was £10 which we thought was a bargain. Would highly recommend.

Visiting the Dubai Frame was such a cool experience! I wasn’t totally sure what to expect, but it ended up being one of my favorite stops in the city. I From the moment you walk in, everything is beautifully organized. You start with a quick walk through the history of Dubai, then head up the elevator to the top for those amazing skyline views. The glass floor was a little scary at first (especially looking straight down!), but once you take that first step, it’s so worth it. You get one side showing the old Dubai and the other side showing the modern skyline it’s such a striking contrast and really shows how far the city has come. I went mid-morning, and it wasn’t too crowded, which made it easy to take photos and enjoy the views. The staff were friendly and helpful, and everything felt very clean and well-maintained. If you’re planning to visit, bring your camera and maybe go around sunset the views are absolutely beautiful when the city starts to light up. Definitely one of those “wow” moments

This was so much better than I expected when I booked it I didn’t realise you could actually go in the frame, I just thought it was a giant frame in a park! Obviously didn’t do my research properly. The queue to go to the top was quite big but seemed to go down quite fast. The lift had a window on one side so if you were lucky enough to stand on that side of the lift it was a great experience. You then go through a bit of a museum which shows a bit of the history and when you which the top there is a glass floor you can walk over. I didn’t dare at first but did manage it eventually. This glass see through floor can be avoided if you don’t want to walk on it. On one said here views from the frame were of the new built side of Dubai. With views of the big buildings and the Burj Khalifa. The other side were views of the old town including the flatter buildings. The sky was a bit hazy so the newer town wasn’t quite as clear as we had hoped but it was still a fantastic experience.
