This video is simply GENIUS and was shot over three months by British-based urban film-maker Rob Whitworth, the three-minute short takes the viewer through the most incredible time-lapse. It showcases Dubai’s modernism while showing you  the old-town and desert activities.

Whitworth himself says: “My first impression of Dubai was that of super-tall buildings jutting out of the desert sand. However, after three months of exploration, research and filming, my lasting impression is of the eternal wonder of the desert and the importance it holds for the Emirati people.”

“Dubai may be home to the world’s most outrageous skyline but Dubai’s desert dunes and historical creek are where you’ll find its soul.”
