Dubai Frame, a cultural marvel, stands as an iconic testament to the seamless blending of the old and the new, while symbolically bridging Dubai’s rich past with its magnificent present. This architectural gem serves as a captivating frame, offering breathtaking vistas that showcase the impressive contrasts of Old and New Dubai. It is a celebration of Dubai’s remarkable journey, from its humble beginnings to its visionary plans for future development.
Unveiled in January 2018, this monumental project boasts a grand structure, towering 150 meters high and spanning 95 meters wide, meticulously designed to emulate a colossal picture frame. On one side, visitors are treated to panoramic views of modern Dubai’s majestic landmarks, including Emirates Towers and Burj Khalifa, while the other side unveils the charm and history of the city’s older quarters, such as Deira and Karama. Drawing inspiration from the iconic logo of EXPO2020, the exterior design of Dubai Frame is a true work of art. It proudly holds the prestigious title of the world’s largest picture frame, officially recognized by the Guinness World Records.
