Dubai Frame is one of the city’s most striking architectural landmarks, offering visitors a unique way to experience the contrast between historic and modern Dubai. Standing at 150 meters high and 93 meters wide, the massive golden structure is shaped like a picture frame — perfectly capturing views of both Old Dubai to the north and New Dubai to the south.
Located in Zabeel Park, Dubai Frame combines innovation, art, and technology to tell the story of the city’s evolution — from a small fishing village to a futuristic global metropolis.
