Dubai Frame is an observatory, museum, and monument located in Zabeel Park, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Construction began in 2013, and after five years, the building opened on January 1, 2018. The total construction cost is estimated to be 230 million AED (68 million USD).
The height of the building is 150.24 meters and the width is 95.53 meters. In May 2019, it was registered in the Guinness World Records as the world's largest picture frame. A “golden rectangle” with a side ratio of 1:1.618 was used.
The construction involved over 9,900 cubic meters of reinforced concrete, 2,000 tonnes of steel and aluminum, and 2,900 square meters of laminated glass. In addition, the exterior façade is clad in over 15,000 square meters of golden stainless steel, the design of which references the Expo 2020 Dubai logo.
The building primarily serves as an observation deck, offering views of old Dubai to the north and new Dubai to the south.
The designer is Mexican architect Fernando Donis, who won the 2008 international architecture competition sponsored by Dubai Municipality. The exterior design is based on the Dubai International Expo logo.
The first floor is a museum, with "The Past Time Gallery'' introducing the history of Dubai and "The Future Time Gallery'' introducing Dubai 50 years from now. The museum uses special effects to create a highly visually appealing experience that transports you from the nomadic fishing and pearl diving villages of the past to 50 years into the future.
It takes 75 seconds to reach the observation area from the mezzanine floor to the 48th floor by elevator.
From the observation area "Sky Deck" on the 48th floor, you can see two types of views: the new cityscape of Dubai with views of Sheikh Zayed Road and Burj Khalifa to the south, and the old cityscape of Deira to the north. At the base, there is a glass floor that provides views down approximately 150 meters into the building's lower span. This space consists of two towers connected by a glass-bottomed frame top, acting as a symbolic bridge between past and present.

Don't really know why - and no offense to anybody - but the more I see about Dubai and the less I feel like I want to go there... All so artificial

Rather than spend money on such junk the government should install a sewage system.
