The UAE’s latest cultural landmark, Dubai Frame is an iconic structure that ‘frames’ impressive views of Old and New Dubai, while serving as a metaphorical bridge connecting the emirate’s rich past with its magnificent present. Dubai Frame celebrates the story of Dubai from its early establishment to its ambitious plans for future development. Launched in January 2018, the project comprises a 150-metre-high, 95-meter-wide structure being built to resemble a huge picture frame, through which landmarks representing modern Dubai such as Emirates Towers and Burj Khalifa can be seen on one side, while from the other side, visitors can view older parts of the city such as Deira and Karama. Exterior design of Dubai Frame was inspired from the logo of EXPO2020 and it is world's largest picture frame by Guinness World Records. According to Dubai Frame general policy, guests are requested to wear respectful clothing: shoulders and knees to be covered.

Never again!

Hands off this tour! We had low expectations due to the price. Even these were far undercut. We were picked up by an old, rusty and dirty minibus. Our guide got on at some point, spoke rudimentary barely intelligible English and gave virtually no information about the sights. The coronation was a sales show in a house where overpriced gold embroidered carpets and Indian/Asian souvenirs were to be forced upon us. This lasted about 1 hour, which of course went away from the time of the photo stops. Most of the excursion consisted of collecting the other participants. All in one - a big bust and a waste of time. Better treat yourself to a good coffee somewhere in a beautiful place.

Fine if you are looking for an uninformative drive around Dubai

Tour guide arrived an hour late and did not communicate so I thought I had been forgotten. The help centre for the tour was quick to respond and let me know they were running late and blamed it on traffic. None the less, they are from here and should be aware of the traffic in the area and do pickups accordingly. Guide never said a word until we got to the frame. He then told us a few things but mostly looked at this phone. Though it was an English language tour, the company had about 2/3 of the group who didn't speak a word so the guide had to translate and seemed to say much more when speaking in Urdu. Stops were quick and we were left on our own unlike another tour I took where the guide walked with us and took pictures for everyone with personal cameras. There was a very irate woman who thought we were going to the spice markets and she was angry the entire tour and the guide didn't help, just ignored her. I was glad I hadn't paid much. We had four stops and it was like on-off tour bus.

Not good at all

They were supposed to pick us up between 8:45 and 9:00 and picked us up at 9:45 which means we started one hour late. The tour was nothing special, very little time in the interesting places and a LOT of time at the shop which I would have preferred to spend in other interesting places in the city. I would strongly recommend doing better research than the one I did so you choose a much better tour than this one.

It Was Ok!

The tour served it's purpose, getting us to the different Dubai attractions. Otherwise, I've been on better organized city tours where the guide takes time to share facts about the attractions and shares unique information.

Nice tour

An excellent tour of Dubai in half day with a very knowledgeable guide, Jeewan, who went out of his way to help us see sights Having lived in Dubai in the late 1970’s we were eager to see the old Clock Tower roundabout and the Creek area. The tour brought back some wonderful happy memories!!
