The Frame is a stunning installation that you can ride an elevator to the top of and take in views of the city. On one side you can see all of Old Dubai and the other all of downtown and the recent architecture. It also has a museum at the top too, telling you more of Dubai’s history.ย
2. The Burj Kalifa

Known as the tallest building in the world! There are plenty of fun photo locations around downtown Dubai with the Burj in the background.
One of the best I’ve found is the view from the top of the Shangri La hotel. If you’re willing to splurge a bit you can also get some amazing photos from inside the observation deck in the Burj Kalifa. Entry tickets start at around $97 USD but you can also find them cheaper on Groupon.
