Dubai is a place like no other. On one hand, it boasts of ultra-modern buildings, man-made islands of unbelievable sights, towering constructions, massive shopping malls, exquisite gaming zones, etc. And on the other, several parts of the city retain the old-world charm of the earlier Dubai. With traditional-looking typical Arab buildings, the people here still maintain a somewhat traditional lifestyle. There are not many places in the world where old and new co-exist in such an attractive manner.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could view both these worlds at the same time? And that too, in person?
Well, you will get your chance. Once you take a trip to the Dubai Frame with us.
Visible from almost the entire city, the multiple award-winning Dubai Frame is another marvel of construction. Much like many other constructions in Dubai. It is located in Zabeel Park. It is shaped like a huge photo frame.
The rectangular structure consists of two vertical towers that shoot up 150 meters into the sky. The construction is 93 meters wide. The towers are linked by a bridge that has a dimension of approximately 100 square meters. And when you stand here, you get jaw-dropping views of both old and new Dubai. This is a lifetime experience.
This is where your trip to the Dubai Frame begins. This is located on the ground floor and houses a gallery and museum. Using the latest 3D and 4D multimedia and holographic technologies, the gallery will take you back in time. You will witness the magical transformation of Dubai from a small gulf-based fishing and pearl extraction to a megapolis of the future. Feel the thrill of this transformation as you travel in time!
Now is the time to hop into that elevator. In less than 80 seconds, you will reach the top floor of the horizontal ribs of the construction. Welcome to the Sky Deck. You will indeed feel like a bird, soaking in the views of Dubai. On one side, you have the breathtaking sights of the new Dubai – with towering constructions, swanky roads, and bridges, huge shopping malls, planned gardens, etc.
While on the other hand, areas like Bur Dubai, Deira, and Karama will attract your attention with the many remaining old-world structures that they have proudly retained. These charming constructions will let you soak in a retro feeling. It is like a journey back and forth in time. You will stand transfixed here as you witness the coexistence of old and ultra-modern.

Enjoy the beauty of the two types of Dubai – while also fulfilling your share of thrills and chills!
So you have seen the past of Dubai at the ground-floor gallery, and also the present Dubai from the Sky Deck. Let’s also take a look at the Dubai of the future. So, enter the Dubai Future Gallery on your way down. This will take you half a century ahead in time and let you see how this millennial city is going to look into the future. This would also be a thrill of a different kind.
