The Dubai Golden Frame, also known as the Dubai Gate or the Dubai Frame, is another landmark building in Dubai. Construction began in 2013 and was completed and put into operation in 2017.
This massive frame, with 50 floors, stands approximately 150 meters high and 93 meters wide, adopting the "golden ratio" of 1.618. More than just a simple picture frame, the "Golden Frame" is actually a historical museum. Visitors can take an elevator to the top floor of the "Frame," where a glass bridge offers a panoramic view of the Dubai skyline while strolling through the sky. The lower floor houses the museum's exhibition halls, showcasing the history of Dubai's urban development.
