That is a very unique and beautiful video… I love the shots at the 2:50 mark with the overhead of the pool… Really cool stuff.

Dubai is filled with breath-taking skyscrapers that make the city more lovely as they light up at night. I’ve been there once to visit a friend. These man made infrastructures have become “must-sees” for tourists. Such a captivating video. Great editing, great work. Thanks for the post.

Every country has its upside and downside. Considering that UAE was only formed in 1971, the progress and growth dubai shows is admirable. I’m an emarati living in dubai, and every day I wake up thanking allah for our leaders and citizens for this earthly paradise.

It’s worth taking everything in the press with a pinch of salt, Aaron. I’m with you there. To believe something 100% I like to see it with my own eyes.

Wow. It’s not often that i’d sit and watch a 4-5 min video during work hours but that was strangely hypnotic. Thank you David.
Agreed. There are some highly questionable aspects to Dubai which won’t do its image any good. However, you have to sit back and admire Dubai’s grandiose image and just think of what was there 20 years ago to what is there now.
Definitely worth a visit before they go completely bankrupt !

That’s a gorgeous video, thanks for sharing it. Whilst there is undoubtedly an ugly side to Dubai, I also think the whole human rights / slave labour argument in that Independent article is not quite as black and white as that. Personally I’d love to go to Dubai just for the sheer awesomeness of it.

This is beautiful photography/film making. The music adds that perfect bit of atmosphere to the piece too!
