The Dubai Frame is one of the UAE's most iconic landmarks, offering a stunning blend of architectural innovation and cultural storytelling. Located in Zabeel Park, this colossal structure was designed to resemble a giant picture frame, perfectly framing views of Old Dubai to the north and the modern skyline of New Dubai to the south.

Inside, visitors can explore immersive galleries that showcase Dubai's transformation from a modest fishing village to a futuristic metropolis, and even glimpse what the next 50 years will look like. With its gold plating, futuristic design, and cutting-edge technology, the Dubai Frame is more than just an observation deck—it's a cultural experience and a celebration of the city's extraordinary journey.
