Unique, 150-m-tall building resembling a picture frame, with historic displays & panoramic views.

The Dubai Frame is one of the city's most ingenious architectural statements - a 150-metre picture frame straddling the border between old and new Dubai. Look south and the historic neighbourhoods of Deira and Bur Dubai stretch out below; look north and the glittering skyline of Downtown and Sheikh Zayed Road fills the frame. The sky bridge connecting the two towers features a glass floor walkway that offers a vertiginous view straight down to Zabeel Park. The museum inside charts Dubai's extraordinary transformation from fishing village to global city. At AED 50, it is one of the best-value major attractions in Dubai. The elevator to the top is fast, the views on a clear day exceptional, and the glass floor section merits at least one careful step. Late afternoon light works well for photography on both sides. Allow ninety minutes for the full experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

01What is the Dubai Frame?

02How much does it cost to visit the Dubai Frame?

Adult tickets are AED 50. Children under 3 are free. It is one of the most affordable major tourist attractions in Dubai and represents excellent value for the views and experience.

04Is the glass floor on the sky bridge scary?

The glass floor section of the sky bridge is optional to walk on. It is entirely see-through and 150 metres above the ground. Many visitors find it thrilling rather than genuinely frightening — take it at your own pace.

05When is the best time to visit the Dubai Frame?

Late afternoon and sunset provide the most photogenic light on both the old and new city views. Avoid peak midday during summer (June–September) as the approach involves outdoor walking. Evenings offer the illuminated skyline.
