The much-awaited Dubai Frame will be open on 1st January 2018. But recently, the iconic structure opened its doors to a very special guest: the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
As the name suggests, the structure serves as a “frame” for downtown and Old Dubai. It consists of two towers – 150 metres high – connected at the top by a 93-metre bridge. Extravagantly covered in gold cladding, the Dubai Frame showcases fantastic views of the city.
