Residents are eagerly waiting for the official opening of Dubai's latest landmark: The Dubai Frame. The completed structure is there for all to view at the Zaabeel Park, but now you can have a sneak-peak inside, thanks to a video released by the Dubai Municipality on Monday.
In a video clip posted on the municipality's social media accounts, Hussain Nasser Lootah, director-general of the Dubai Municipality, can be seen inspecting the final preparations of the attraction, which is expected to open next month.
The video gives a closer look of the frame's stainless steel gold exterior; its water fountain; a museum that features 3D projections of early residents, and actual antiques; and the breathtaking view it offers of Downtown Dubai.
Measuring 150 metres high, the Dh160-million structure will connect the past with the present through a 93-metre bridge at the top that will give visitors a 360-degree view of Dubai. A one-minute elevator ride at the left tower will take them to the glass bridge through which they will see tall skyscrapers of Sheikh Zayed Road, the Burj Khalifa and the Emirates Towers that symbolise the modern part of Dubai on the South. Turning around to the north, the landmark areas of Deira, Umm Hurair, Bur Dubai and Karama will convey the old part of Dubai.
Entry tickets are priced at Dh50 for adults and Dh30 for children.

The experienceVisitors' journey starts at the mezzanine level, where they enter into an immersive experience representing the Past history of the city. Projections, mist effects, smells and motion creates the immersive mood setting of the space.The Past Dubai Gallery tells the story of the evolution of the city and its past, showing the old city using modern means of presentation that contributes to the creation of a favourable environment that suits the comprehensive boom of Dubai. After a one-minute elevator ride, visitors are directed to the second experience on the Sky Deck level at the horizontal glass bridge that represents the Present of Dubai. Visitors will be experiencing uninterrupted views of Dubai from all sides, Old Dubai to the north and New Dubai to the south by interactive applications such as augmented reality activated screens. Modern technologies are used to represent different aspects of the present Dubai, such as architecture, economy and infrastructure. The next experience is on the other side of the mezzanine level, where the visitor can see the Future Dubai Gallery. The concept of this gallery is to depict Dubai 50 years from now into the future by creating a virtual metropolis through interactive projections and virtual reality technology. The visitors will exit the elevator onto the mezzanine floor to pass through a vortex tunnel with special lights and sound effects. The idea is to create an illusion of time travel through a warp vortex and arriving into the city 50 years ahead. An immersive 'Virtual Metropolis' experience is created on the walls by means of interactive projections, light and sound to create the city of the future. The scenes would depict the city's evolution after 50 years, new projects, how people would travel, live etc. sherouk@khaleejtimes.com |
