Rising 150 meters from Dubai’s Zabeel Park, the “World’s Largest Picture Frame” has officially opened in the UAE. Known as the Dubai Frame, the structure is the latest in the city’s line of eye-catching mega projects, offering up panoramic views of the skyline while framing views of iconic buildings such as the Burj Khalifa for visitors and residents all across the city.
TIMINGS:
Dubai Frame is open daily from 9am to 9pm.
TICKETS:
You can purchase tickets at the gate.Tickets cost Dhs50 for adults, Dhs20 for children, with free entry for children under three and disabled visitors.
Coming Down:
You’re given 20 minutes to check out the views at the top, and then it’s time to come back down to earth, using the elevator on the other side. Then you’ll be shown a visionary 3D presentation — the “Future Dubai Gallery” — which imagines the city 50 years from now.
You’ll emerge, blinking, into the Dubai Frame souvenir shop, where you can pick up mugs, t-shirts and key chains emblazoned with the icon.
About its Structure:
Taking architecture, and creativity to the next level, this colossal structure measures nearly 500 feet tall and 300 feet wide. The shimmering glass structure that you perceive as a thin frame is a whole new world from the inside. This 47-storeyed tall frame features two observation platforms, one at the top, and one at the base, from where one can spectate an awe-inspiring view of the city’s fabulous skyline.
The frame measures 150 metres high and 93 metres wide. It was constructed using 2000 tons of steel and 2,900 square metres of laminated glass. It boasts 15,000 square metres of gold cladding.
The golden ring design on the frame was inspired by the Expo 2020 logo.
Cost of the project:
The plan of world’s largest picture frame was laid nearly a decade ago, and its construction began in 2013. Until its opening in 2018, the total amount invested in the project summed up to an exorbitant $43.5 million. But, according to government statistics, this amount will be recovered within a short span of time, as they are expecting a minimum tourist footfall of 2 million people in a single year.
Location:
Dubai Frame is located at Gate 4 of Zabeel Park.
