Dubai Frame
Dubayy
The Dubai Frame is an iconic architectural landmark located in Zabeel Park, Dubai, standing at 150.24 meters tall and 95.53 meters wide. It serves as an observatory, museum, and monument that frames the contrasting views of old Dubai to the north and modern Dubai to the south. The structure was conceived by architect Fernando Donis in a 2009 international design competition and completed in 2018. Its design uses the golden rectangle proportions and is constructed from glass, steel, aluminum, and reinforced concrete, featuring the Expo 2020 logo on its facade. Visitors can ascend via a glass elevator to the Sky Deck, which includes a glass-bottomed walkway offering spectacular views 150 meters above ground. The lower span houses a museum that narrates Dubai's transformation from a humble fishing village and pearl diving community to a futuristic metropolis, using immersive audio-visual effects and augmented reality exhibits. The Dubai Frame symbolizes a bridge between past and present, offering a unique cultural and visual experience that highlights Dubai's rapid development and rich heritage.

Architect Fernando Donis won the competition with a design symbolizing a frame to capture Dubai's past, present, and future.
Construction was completed by Hyder Consulting and the monument opened in January 2018.
