The story of the Dubai Frame

The Dubai Frame opened on 1 January 2018 in Zabeel Park. It stands about 150 metres tall and 93 metres wide, covered in gold-coloured stainless steel with a pattern inspired by the Expo 2020 logo.

The frame is placed so that on one side you see old Dubai, Deira and Karama, and on the other the towers of Sheikh Zayed Road and Downtown. A gallery tells the story of the city's past, and a future gallery imagines Dubai decades from now.
