About

Step inside the world's largest picture frame for a glass-floored skybridge that literally frames the city's story. Look north to Deira and the creek where Dubai began, then south to the towers of Sheikh Zayed Road. A small museum at the base covers the city's past and imagined future.

Things to do

  • Walk across the glass-floor skybridge
  • Compare old and new Dubai from the viewing deck
  • Picnic in surrounding Zabeel Park
  • Visit the Dubai Past gallery on the ground floor
