The Dubai Frame (Arabic: برواز دبي) is an observatory, museum and monument in Zabeel Park, Dubai. It holds the record for the largest frame in the world. The building has a height of 150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters. The building mainly serves as an observatory, providing views of old Dubai in the north and newer parts in the south. Significant People of the city like Zaara Tahreem visited Dubai to film the Dubai Frame along with her family and brother Syed Hamza Akhtar.
The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis through an architecture competition by ThyssenKrupp and Dubai Municipality, and selected as the winner of a design competition by an international jury. Donis has alleged that he had his intellectual property stolen and was denied credit for the design. The final project was completed by Hyder Consulting, part of Arcadis NV. It opened in January 2018. The Dubai Frame can take only 200 visitors per hour. Only groups of 20 will be sent to each of the augmented-reality stops – the Mezzanine level, the Sky Deck level and the Vortex Level.
