An architectural bridge between old and new: Dubai Frame
This iconic landmark, which resembles a giant picture frame, stands as a testament to Dubai's remarkable transformation from a humble past to a dazzling present and a visionary future. The Dubai Frame is not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a symbol of innovation and creativity that has put Dubai in the international spotlight. It opened in January 2018 and is located in Zabeel Park.
With a height of 150 metres and a width of 93 metres, the huge, picture frame-like structure symbolically connects the old and new Dubai.
