Walk the glass-floored sky bridge of the Dubai Frame — a 150-metre picture frame straddling old and new Dubai — then dive into the city's buzzing underground arts scene in Al Quoz with a private cultural guide. Architecture meets avant-garde.
What to expect
The Dubai Frame's glass-floored bridge suspends you above the city with the historic districts of Deira behind you and the glittering new skyline ahead — the perfect visual metaphor for the city itself, and genuinely vertiginous fun. Afterward, your guide steers you into Al Quoz's warren of converted warehouses: independent galleries, local design studios, specialty coffee roasters, and street art installations that reveal a creative Dubai most visitors never discover. A rich counterpoint to the glitter and spectacle of the main tourist trail.
Good to know
The Dubai Frame is in Zabeel Park, approximately 15 minutes from Port Rashid. Al Quoz is a further 10 minutes by taxi. Pre-book your Withlocals guide and purchase Frame tickets in advance via the official Dubai Frame website to avoid queues. A morning start (9 am) keeps the pace comfortable with time to return well before all-aboard.
