A Two Minute Timelapse Of Dubai From Then Till Now Shows You Exactly How Far The City Has Come

Avatar

From a vast sandy plain, to a city with a population of nearly three million people, Dubai has come a long way.

And this timelapse is the ultimate proof. 

The footage was captured over 20 years, from the moment construction began until the completion of the Burj Khalifa in 2009 (the world’s tallest building was officially launched in 2010).

It was shot using images from the BBC for a Generation Earth tv series

Mind. Blown.
