Dubai Frame: The World's Largest Picture Frame
The Dubai Frame is one of the most extraordinary landmarks in the world — a 150-metre golden icon rising from Zabeel Park that simultaneously frames the historic districts of old Dubai to the north and the gleaming skyscrapers of new Dubai to the south.
Standing on the glass-bottomed Sky Bridge at 150 metres, you look north to Deira, Bur Dubai, and the historic Creek — and south to the Burj Khalifa, Downtown, and Business Bay. No other attraction in the city offers this dual perspective on 50 years of transformation in a single glance.
Dubai Frame tickets start from AED 49 when booked online. Booking ahead helps you avoid the ticket-office queue and secure your preferred time slot. Your ticket covers everything: the immersive Past Gallery, the 48-floor elevator ride, the panoramic 150m Sky Deck, the famous glass-bottomed Sky Bridge, and the futuristic Future Gallery. Over 14,500 visitors on Tripadvisor rate the Dubai Frame 4.5 stars.
What's Inside the Dubai Frame?
Your Dubai Frame ticket covers three immersive experiences — a journey through the city's past, present, and future.
The Past Gallery
Begin at ground level with a multi-sensory exhibition that transports you to old Dubai — complete with 3D projections, authentic scents of spices and the sea, and the story of how a small fishing village became a global metropolis.
Discover More →The Sky Deck & Glass Bridge
Take the panoramic elevator 150 metres (48 floors) to the Sky Deck in just 75 seconds. Walk the 93-metre glass-bottomed Sky Bridge — the floor starts frosted and turns transparent under your feet. Old Dubai north, new Dubai south.
Discover More →The Future Gallery
Descend through a swirling vortex tunnel of light and sound showing what Dubai could look like in 50 years. Flying transport, vertical cities, space tourism — a sci-fi glimpse into tomorrow that's also one of the most photographed spots inside the Frame.
Discover More →Why Visit the Dubai Frame?
Here's why the Dubai Frame consistently ranks as one of the top things to do in Dubai.
The Most Affordable Observation Experience in Dubai
Dubai Frame tickets start from AED 49 online — significantly less than Burj Khalifa At The Top (AED 149+) or Sky Views Observatory (AED 130+). For the quality and scale of the experience, Dubai Frame offers excellent value among the city's observation attractions.
The Only Attraction That Shows Old AND New Dubai Simultaneously
No other landmark in Dubai lets you see both sides of the city's story at the same time. From the 150m Sky Deck, you look north to Deira, Bur Dubai, and the Creek — and south to the Burj Khalifa, Downtown, and Business Bay. It's a perspective unlike anything else.
The Famous Glass-Bottomed Sky Bridge
The 93-metre glass bridge is one of the most unique experiences in Dubai. The floor is frosted and opaque until you step on it — then it turns instantly transparent beneath your feet, revealing Zabeel Park 150 metres below. It's thrilling, safe, and completely unforgettable.
Three Fully Immersive Experiences in One Ticket
Your Dubai Frame admission covers the Past Gallery, Sky Deck, glass bridge, and Future Gallery — four distinct experiences with no additional charges. Most visitors are surprised by how much there is to see and do beyond the famous sky bridge.
Perfect for All Ages and Group Types
Dubai Frame works for solo travellers, couples, families with children, and groups of all sizes. Children under 3 enter free; children 3–12 pay AED 25. The glass bridge has solid side walkways for nervous visitors — nobody has to walk on the glass unless they want to.
Golden Hour at Dubai Frame is Unmissable
Visit in the hour before sunset and the gold-coloured stainless steel cladding glows like fire. From the top, the city bathed in golden light is one of the most photogenic views in Dubai. It's three views in one: daylight, sunset, and the city lights coming alive.
