The Dubai Frame (Arabic: برواز دبي) is an observatory, museum and monument in Zabeel Park, Dubai.[4] It holds the record for the largest frame in the world.[4][5] The building has a height of 150.24 meters and a width of 95.53 meters.[5] The building mainly serves as an observatory, providing views of old Dubai in the north and newer parts in the south.[6]

The project idea was initially conceived by Fernando Donis through an architecture competition by ThyssenKrupp and Dubai Municipality,[4][7] and selected as the winner of a design competition by an international jury.[8] Donis has alleged that he had his intellectual property stolen and was denied credit for the design.[9] The final project was completed by Hyder Consulting, part of Arcadis NV. It opened in January 2018.[10][11][4]
