The Dubai Frame was designed by Fernando Donis, whose design won a 2009 competition, and Hyder Consulting completed the final project for Dubai Municipality. The infobox lists Hyder Consulting and Arcadis and a 2013 start, while the text gives only the January 2018 opening. Donis sued in 2016 over copyright and compensation, and the case reached no conclusion.
The article describes a frame around the city built on the golden rectangle, with glass, steel, aluminum and reinforced concrete. The infobox gives 492 feet (150 m) in height, while the text gives 493 feet (150.24 m) tall and 313 feet (95.53 m) wide.
A sky deck with glass-bottomed floors spans the top, reached by a 75-second elevator ride, and a museum on city history sits in the lower span. Capacity is 200 visitors per hour. The article gives no hours or prices.
