Dubai Photography Spots
Burj Khalifa

Dubai Miracle Garden
A great spot for nature lovers and those who like to capture exotic pictures, Dubai Miracle Garden has all the beautiful hues of nature. Home to more than 150 million flowers with lush greenery all around, it is one of the most colourful and vibrant Dubai photography locations.

Dubai Frame
A giant, golden picture frame standing at a height of 150 meters, Dubai Frame is a great spot for wide-angle photography. One can see old and new Dubai from between the frame and around it. However, if you don’t want old and new Dubai in your shot, you can take pictures on the terrace of the Zabeel Park buildings.
