This Picture Of Dubai’s Transition Will BLOW Your Mind

Avatar

Everybody knows the inspiring story of Dubai… well mostly everybody

From the soft sand dunes of yester-years rose the modern-day metropolis of Dubai – legendary city world-renowned for breaking numerous records, having the fanciest buildings and being home to people from over 200 nationalities.

Most of the today’s Gen Z population were toddlers when they saw empty sand plots instead of developed areas and the slowly rising construction of the Burj Khalifa which (back then the Burj Dubai) kept growing a little taller every year.

Despite knowing that the modern Dubai which we know today did not exist twenty years ago, it’s still fascinating to see it’s transition from a little something to EVERYTHING

Take a long, good look at this picture. It’s a juxtaposition of Dubai then vs. now and it’s sure to have you staring at the image for quite a while just to process it.

There, there now, take deep-breaths – it’s overwhelmingly stupefying, isn’t it?

An Emirati Citizen, Hassan Sajwani, took to his Twitter to share this mind-boggling image of Dubai.

Just imagine if you were a senior citizen who had witnessed the days of camel-riding and falcon-hunting, but now saw endless buildings which rose up to the sky. What a marvellous and terrific feeling it would be. Dubai is the modern example of what can be achieved with great leadership and good people.
