What does a visit to Dubai Frame include?
The visit moves through three themed experiences: Past on the mezzanine level, Present on the Sky Deck and Future on the mezzanine level. Dubai Municipality describes the structure as two 150-metre towers joined by a 93-metre bridge that serves as an observatory.
From the Sky Deck, you can look north toward Old Dubai and south toward New Dubai. The sequence takes you from the past, through the city view, and then to the future-themed experience.

People of determination enter free, along with up to two companions; if you book a people-of-determination ticket, go to the ticket counter to collect the companion ticket.

Adding Zabeel Park to your visit
Zabeel Park surrounds Dubai Frame, so you can include time in the park before or after your timed entry. The attraction’s Gate 4 location gives you a clear point to plan around, while the Frame itself provides the visit’s sequence of indoor experiences and elevated city views.
If you’re building a longer day around Bur Dubai and the historic district, the one-day Old Dubai route from Tulip Hotel Apartments covers a different part of the city; keep the Frame and park visit as a separate stop in your schedule.
