The Dubai frame is an award winning and record breaking attraction. It holds the record for being the largest frame in the world. You’ll probably notice this first on your ride to your hotel from the airport as it is pretty hard to miss due to its size and structure.
What can you do?
Firstly, you’ll be able to take some awesome shots of the frame as well as from the frame. As you go up (and then back down) the elevator, you see mesmerising views of the city. And these views just get even more impressive as you reach the top of the frame. It is a fascinating viewpoint because you are bang in the middle of the city enabling you to see the modern side of Dubai on one side and then the old part on the other. Really interesting contrast. There is a glass bridge at the top too, which you can walk on – can be a bit daunting for those scared of heights. The park that it is located in also makes a great picnic spot for families – perfect for a post sight seeing picnic. The park also has a nice fruit juice stall.
Where is it?
It is located in Zabeel Park and the closest Metro station is (Max formerly Jafiliya) – 5 minute walk from there.
How much does it cost?
Tickets cost AED 50 per person. You can book your tickets online here and booking online will allow you to skip the queues (but when we went there weren’t any).
Top tip:
For the best shot of the frame, walk over the bridge towards Zam Zam Restaurant (advise you eat there) – this will be away from the Metro station. As you go there, the bridge that you cross will give you some amazing views of the frame along with the Dubai skyline in the backdrop all in one shot. And combine that with a sunset and bingo!
Where to eat:
Zam Zam Restaurant, across the bridge on the other side, offers up the popular Mandi and Madhbi. It is walking distance and makes for the perfect post activity meal.
