Where to Find Dubai Frame

Dubai Frame sits inside Zabeel Park on the edge of old Dubai. The 150-metre gold frame gives visitors a clear view of both the historic quarter and the modern skyline from one spot.

Ticket Prices and How to Buy

Entry costs AED 50 for adults and AED 20 for children aged 3 to 12. Tickets are sold on site or through the official Dubai Frame app. Children under 3 enter free. The ticket includes access to all three levels and the glass sky bridge.

Opening Hours and Best Time to Visit

The attraction opens daily from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Arrive before 10:00 am or after 5:00 pm to avoid crowds and catch softer light for photos. Sunset slots fill quickly, so book a timed ticket if you want golden-hour views.

What You Will See Inside

The ground floor hosts a short 4D film on Dubai's history. Level two features interactive displays that show how the city grew from a trading post to a global hub. The top observation deck offers 360-degree panoramas through the frame itself and a 25-metre glass walkway that extends over the park.

Practical Tips for 2026 Visitors

  • Wear comfortable shoes; you will walk about 800 metres inside the building.
  • Bring water; the top deck can feel warm even in winter months.
  • Photography is allowed, but tripods are not permitted on the glass bridge.
  • Combine the visit with a walk in Zabeel Park; shaded paths and cafes sit just outside the exit.
  • Public parking is available under the park for AED 10 per hour.

Getting There

Take the Green Line metro to BurJuman station, then a short taxi ride. RTA buses 6 and 15 stop directly at Zabeel Park gate 1. If driving, use the Dubai Frame parking area signposted from Sheikh Rashid Road.
