DUBAI- Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality on Sunday conducted an inspection tour of the Dubai Frame project to check its work progress and preparedness.

Lootah was accompanied by Dawood Al Hajiri, Assistant Director-General for Engineering and Planning Sector and a number of senior officials and engineers in charge of the companies executing the Dubai Frame project.

Dubai Frame is one of the unique projects that Dubai Municipality is keen to implement, which is an aesthetic icon and an urban architectural landmark linking the past with the present, to make the area an important attraction for visitors, tourists and residents alike. It is expected to attract nearly 2 million tourists a year.

"Berwaz" in Arabic, the frame has two 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 conveys 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 symbolize the old Dubai.
