Want Adrenaline Rush? Stand On A Glass Bridge On Top Of The Dubai Frame

The jaw-dropping sculpture at Zabeel Park, Dubai Frame has been dubbed “the world’s largest picture frame.” Visitors gathered for the panoramic views of the skyline from a 93-meter-long observation bridge with glass-floored walkways when it opened in 2018. The distinctive photo-frame design frames sights of structures throughout the Dubai skyline, such as the Burj Khalifa, for people all around the city. It accounts for 48 storeys above ground which is the glass surface.

Dubai Frame, a prominent monument has added to Dubai’s rich and opulent legacy. Visitors will see a massive display of the history of the United Arab Emirates. When we arrive in Dubai, we may simply pass across this frame from East to West, South to North. It seems to be a hoarding of its advertisement from one viewpoint and an Arch from another.

How Was This MasterPiece Created?

A German industrial behemoth, ThyssenKrupp inspired the Dubai Frame design. They had to make various design adjustments to lessen the wind influence on the building. Not compromising the architectural view of the structure was the goal.

Expo 2020’s emblem impacted the design of the Dubai Frame’s facade.

It took a total of 2,900 sq m of laminated glass to create the Dubai Frame. More than 3,600 specialists worked together to make the Dubai Frame a reality. The digit includes engineers, architects, technicians, and personnel. The observation deck was raised using four enormous hydraulic jacks. Each was capable of lifting 300 tonnes. The entire operation took two days and resulted in a 3.5mm per second increase.
