Two golden towers, a glass bridge at 150 metres, and on one side the skyscrapers of new Dubai, on the other the low rooftops of Deira and the Creek. The Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park literally frames the difference between old and new Dubai, and at AED 50 for a standard ticket it is one of the cheapest big views in the city.

Why the Frame works so well in winter

From October to April the haze lifts and you can often see from the Creek all the way to the Burj Khalifa in one glance. Come around 16:30: you catch the city in daylight, watch the sunset from the Skydeck, and walk back through Zabeel Park when the evening light show starts. The glass floor panel in the middle of the bridge turns opaque until you step on it – a small theatrical touch children love.

The route inside

Your visit starts in a small gallery about Dubai’s fishing-village past, then a lift takes you up 48 floors in about a minute. On the Skydeck you can stay as long as you like. The way down ends with a projection about the Dubai of 2050. It is compact: 60 to 90 minutes is enough, which makes it easy to combine with the Museum of the Future or a stroll through Old Dubai.

Opening hours and prices

Open daily from 9:00 to 21:00. Entry with Skydeck access costs from about AED 50 for adults (checked July 2026), with reduced rates for children. During Ramadan and public holidays the hours can shift, so check your ticket slot.
