One of Dubai's architectural icons is The Dubai Frame, which is situated in Zabeel Park. Fernando Donis, who won the competition's ThyssenKrupp Elevator International Award after competing against 926 other designers, created this landmark frame in Dubai. It was constructed using 2,900 square meters of laminated glass, 2000 tons of steel and aluminum, and 9,900 cubic meters of reinforced concrete when it first opened its doors in January 2018. The Dubai Frame is positioned to depict famous sites in contemporary Dubai, but it also provides views of the city's historic districts to its visitors.
The Dubai Frame is one of the top vantage points in the city with breathtaking views over both the old and modern Dubai due to its height of 492 feet. It is the largest picture frame in the world and currently holds the record for the largest frame in the world. It has 15,000 square meters of gold cladding and features the ring pattern found in the Expo 2020 Dubai emblem. Within the first year of its existence, The Dubai Frame had more than 1 million visitors.
The Dubai Frame functions as a sort of link between the past and present. It comprises two enormous towers united by a bridge, giving it the appearance of a Dubai picture frame. The combined height of the two buildings is astounding—150 meters. A 93-meter-long bridge connects the two of them. From this bridge, people can see Dubai from every angle. A 25-meter glass panel that was constructed specifically for the views is there. Additionally, it gives the impression of floating to the individuals.
