The Dubai Frame is open from 10am to 7pm

Residents and tourists rushed on the first day of 2018 to get the first sight on Dubai’s latest landmark, the Dubai Frame. Khaleej Times reports that people started piling up from 9am on two counters outside Zabeel Park Gate 4 to purchase tickets that will give them a new 360-degree view of the city. Open from 10am to 7pm, the frame that stands tall in Zabeel Park allows visitors to see the journey of the city’s past, present and future in one-hour tour with a real view of old and modern Dubai from a 150-meter sky glass bridge.

Top Dubai entertainment venues and attractions are located within a short distance from our latest development; Easy18.

People purchased their tickets for Dh50 for adults and Dh20 for children between 3 to 12 years old at the park’s counters. People above 60 and persons of determination along with two companions were allowed free entry.

A Dubai Municipality official on site told Khaleej Times the queues, though long, were manageable. “It is fast moving, because the frame takes up to 200 people per hour. Soon, entry to the frame will be paperless,” the official said. In two weeks, an integrated website and app will allow visitors to pre-book their tours in Dubai Frame and Dubai Safari Park online. Tickets could be displayed on smartphones upon entry.
