Hussain Nassir Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality, on Wednesday visited the Dubai Frame project site in Zabeel Park in the presence of assistant director generals and senior officials of the municipality.

The visit was aimed at reviewing the progress of the project which is anticipated to be a new icon of Dubai like Burj Khaleefa and Burj Al Arab. Dubai Frame is likely to attract over 2 million tourists every year.

Having reviewed the project site and preparations, Lootah expressed his delight in having such an impressive milestone and icon in Dubai and said that the project is a complete glassy and transparent frame resembling a huge window frame to highlight the attractions of the city, where the visitors can view the scenes and buildings on Sheikh Zayed Road from one side symbolising the modern Dubai city, while other side of the frame will show the landmarks of Deira, Umm Hurair and Karama, which symbolise the old Dubai.

"The ground leg of the Frame will include a museum that tells the story of the development of the city and information on its past and present. The electrical panoramic elevators will help visitors move through its facilities as if they are moving in the sky inside the glass frame," Lootah said.

The Dh120 million project will be constructed in an area of 697 square metres with 150 metres height and 100 metres width and likely to be completed by the end of 2014.
