3. The world’s largest photo frame
This enormous 150-metre-tall picture frame provides breathtaking, sweeping vistas of Dubai’s past and present. The construction cost was an astounding $43.5 million. The Dubai Frame is an architectural piece that assembles into a giant frame to display city views. The mirror-encased golden picture frame, standing 492 feet tall and 230 feet wide, offers expansive views that stretch from the bright new skyline to the iconic old Dubai monuments.
This engineering marvel, which cost tens of millions, defies gravity and rises nearly 500 feet over Zabeel Park. The Dubai Frame and its museum are open for tours before guests take glass lifts up to the sky bridge. The bridge allows one to see both sides of Dubai, with the most recent and cutting-edge construction visible in one direction. The ornate frame represents Dubai’s goal of uniting its history and future. The breathtaking vistas of the Dubai Frame justify its opulent $43.5 million price tag.
