Great experience, but keep a few things in mind before visiting! ​The area around the Dubai Frame is beautifully maintained and spotless. There is plenty of parking available, but if you’re taking the metro, be prepared for a bit of a walk from the station—grabbing a quick cab from there might be a better option. ​I highly recommend buying your tickets online in advance; they are cheaper and you get to skip the ticketing queue completely. You can start taking amazing photos as soon as you step inside the gate, as the Frame stands out as the main attraction right away. ​The ascent is fantastic—the glass lift offers incredibly scenic views of the city on the way up. Once at the top, the glass-bottom walkway is a thrilling experience, though a bit on the smaller side. The real highlight of being up there is the dual perspective: looking out one side gives you a sweeping view of historic Old Dubai, while the opposite side perfectly showcases the modern, towering skyline of New Dubai. ​The only reason I’m deducting a star is the lack of an unobstructed viewpoint. The structural designs on the walls obscure the glass in several places, which makes it slightly frustrating if you're trying to capture perfect skyline pictures. Overall, though, it absolutely delivers on what it was built for, and you will definitely enjoy the visit!

It was great view from the top. They had nice little history museum before the the elevator took you up. My children enjoyed the garden area once we came back down. Overall it was great experience experience.

Dubai Frame is definitely worth visiting at least once while in Dubai. The architecture is impressive, and seeing the massive golden frame up close is an experience on its own. The views from the top are spectacular, offering a unique perspective of both old and new Dubai. The attraction is clean, well-maintained, and organized. The glass-floor walkway adds a bit of excitement, and the exhibits provide interesting insights into Dubai’s past, present, and future. One thing to be aware of is the photo service. There are two separate photography teams—one at the entrance and another at the top. The photos are good, but they are quite expensive, and each team sells their photos separately. It would be much better if both sets of photos were offered together as a single package. Overall, it’s a great attraction for sightseeing, photography, and learning more about Dubai’s transformation. Despite the expensive photo packages, the experience itself is excellent and highly recommended for tourists and first-time visitors. 🌟📸🏙️

Dubai Frame offers a fantastic view of both phases of Dubai, the historic old city on one side and the modern skyline on the other. It’s a very unique attraction that beautifully showcases Dubai’s transformation over the years. During our visit, there was almost no crowd, which made the experience even better as we could explore every section comfortably without any waiting or rush. The views from the top were excellent, and the overall experience was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting for the panoramic views and the concept itself.

Compared to other Dubai attractions, this one is fairly priced and gives you a nice view of the Dubai skyline. It's better to purchase your tickets online as there can be large queues. Once you have your tickets, you still have a queue, but it's fast moving. When you enter the building, they first take you through a historic tour to show you what Dubai was like decades ago. Once you go up, the view is nice and you can take your time to enjoy it. The floor is glass and you get a nice downward view too. On your way out, don't forget to stop at the souvenir shop. There are some low cost items which are great.
