Dubai Frame tickets 2026: prices, opening hours and how to get there

Dubai Frame, the 150 metre gold frame in Zabeel Park, is open every day of the year, weekends and public holidays included, from 8am to 9pm. An adult ticket costs AED 50 and a child's ticket (ages 3 to 12) costs AED 20. Children under 3 enter free, and so do people of determination with up to two companions. Tickets are sold for a chosen date on the Frame's own ticket site, ticketingsales.dubaiframe.ae. Dubai Municipality runs the attraction, and every detail below comes from its official website.

Opening hours

Dubai Frame is open seven days a week, all year round, from 8am to 9pm. The Frame says visiting times may change during the holy month of Ramadan, on holidays and on public holidays, so check its website before a visit at those times. On the online shop, each day is sold as one slot covering the whole opening time, from 8am to 9pm, and the shop shows how many tickets are left for that day.

Ticket prices

An adult ticket is AED 50. A ticket for a child aged 3 to 12 is AED 20. Infants under 3 enter free. People of determination enter free together with up to two companions. The online shop adds a 5% VAT line at checkout; the website does not say whether the listed prices already include it. A ticket is valid for one day, on the date you booked, and the shop sells at most 15 tickets in one purchase. A VIP ticket is also sold through the shop; its price is not published on the Frame's main website. The site does not publish any resident or group discount.

People of determination

Free entry is for holders of a people of determination card issued by the UAE government, with up to two people accompanying them. If you book a people of determination ticket online, the Frame asks you to collect the companion tickets at the ticket counter on the day. Its official page says the building, toilets and service counters are designed to be accessible.

What you see inside

The visit has three parts. It starts on the mezzanine with the Old Dubai gallery, a multimedia exhibition on how the city grew from a fishing village into a modern city, with a look at Emirati heritage. A lift then carries you 48 floors in 75 seconds to the Sky Deck, the bridge at the top, about 150 metres above the ground. From there you see older Dubai to the north and newer Dubai to the south, and you can walk on a glass floor on the bridge. On the way down you pass through the Future Dubai gallery, entered through a swirling tunnel with sound and light effects. The Frame is 150 metres high and 95 metres wide. Other services listed on its site are a souvenir shop, a café on the bridge, a breakfast offer on the bridge and the Dubai Frame garden.

Rules for visitors

The Frame's own rules: no pets, no smoking, and no food or drinks. Toys and sharp tools are not allowed. Do not lean on or climb over the railings, and do not sit children on them. Children under 12 must stay with an adult for the whole visit. Large bags and pushchairs have to be left at the Gate 4 counter. Visitors are asked to dress respectfully and not to touch or remove anything on display.

Getting there

Dubai Frame stands at Gate 4 of Zabeel Park, bordered by Sheikh Rashid Road to the north, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Road to the north west and Sheikh Zayed Road to the south. By metro, the Frame names Al Jafiliya station as the stop for Zabeel Park. The official website does not publish parking details or prices.

Common questions

Can I buy tickets at the door? The website sends visitors to the online shop and does not say whether tickets are sold at the gate, so booking online for your date is the safe choice. Can I leave and come back? The Frame says a ticket is valid for one day on the booked date; it does not say whether re-entry is allowed. Who do I call? Dubai Municipality's contact centre on 800900, open around the clock.
