Dubai Municipality clarifies Dubai Frame opening rumours

Referring to a local newspaper report, which mentioned Dubai Frame project will be opened on December 19, Mohammed Mubarak Al Mutaiwei, assistant director general for Communication and Community Sector and the official spokesperson of Dubai Municipality, said that so far the date of the official opening of Frame has not yet been
decided.

He said the project will be opened soon after completion of all project works and operations.

The official spokesman of the Municipality called on the public not to circulate such false news and make sure through the official channels of the Municipality. Al Mutaiwei added: “Dubai Frame is one of the unique projects that Dubai Municipality is keen to implement. It is an aesthetic icon and an architectural landmark that culturally connects the past with the present, and an important attraction for visitors, tourists and residents alike. It is expected to attract about two million tourists annually.”

Dubai Frame or “Berwaz Dubai” consists of two transparent glass towers of 150m height that are connected by a 93m bridge at the top. The space between the towers gives a pretty clear view for the city from a high altitude. On one side, it frames the images and buildings of Sheikh Zayed Road, to symbolise the modern city of Dubai, while the other side of the Berwaz includes landmark areas of Deira, Umm Hurair and Karama, which symbolise the old Dubai.
