This Tuesday Dubai Municipality posted a video on the most awaited tourist attraction and it looks like it is finally finished. Khaleej Times reports that the Dubai Frame opening ceremony will take place in January, 2018 and it will open its doors to public next month with tickets priced at Dh50 and Dh30 for adults and children respectively. Children under three, elderly over 60 and people of determination are welcome to explore the attraction completely free of charge.
Dubai Frame sits in the heart of the iconic Zabeel Park just 15 minute drive away from our latest development; Easy18. Other attractions are currently being built around the area including Mohammad Bin Rashid Library and the Cityland Mall featuring a Jungle Park and Botanic Gardens that are set to launch in 2018. Both the mall and the library are located within 10-15 minute drive from Easy18 that aims to provide quality living at an affordable price.
Hussain Nasser Lootah of the Dubai Municipality inspected the 150 meter high and 93 meter wide frame-like structure offering us a glimpse of the a stainless steel gold cladding exterior as well as what is inside the Frame including the Fountain and Mezzanine museum featuring the Past Dubai Gallery. Impressive, immersive museum-style experience is created using 3D projections, motion, mist and smell effects.
One-minute elevator ride represents time travel to the Future Dubai Gallery depicting Dubai 50 years from now into the future. Visitors can go through a vortex tunnel with special lights and sound effects that create an illusion of time travel through a warp vortex.
150 meters above the ground is a 100 square meter glass bridge sky deck which offers unbeatable 360-degree views of Dubai Downtown and as well as the old part of the city. Visitors can interact with augmented reality technology to see the immersive ‘Virtual Metropolis’ of the future.
Dh160-million Dubai Frame project was awarded to Fernando Donis who competed against nearly a thousand proposals. The Dubai Municipality has recently signed an agreement with property giant Emaar to market and promote Dubai Frame, taking cue from its experience with the Burj Khalifa.
