I'm speechless. There is no question in my mind that Dubai is shaping up to be one of the 3 grand skylines of the world. Chicago, New York, and Hong Kong.....watch out!!! One of you may have to step down soon!!!

Those are amazing and showcase the city extremely well. I had not been familiar with everything outside of the "new" downtown area but the flight looking back over the huge dense part of the city does now show me that there's a LOT here! Sweet BD shots as well, but really, everything was captured nicely and has only increased my interest in visiting there someday.

Those were the best pictures of Dubai I have ever seen! Even their highways kick ass! I finally get a perspective of where things are in relation to each other in Dubai.

Just seen this thread. FANTASTIC pictures. Nowhere else do you get a sense of the entirety of the 21st century project that is Dubai.

You've brought the jigsaw together brilliantly.

Superb work Flo.

Yes, Flo, that definitely looks like the Arabian Canal...

This is the Etisalat Earth Station:


Also, if I remember correctly, it is this hill, which has given the name to Jebel Ali, where Jebel in Arabic is Hill/mountain A little trivia for you.

Do you have any pics of the Deira Downtown cluster, NBD, Etisalat, Creek Tower, etc? That is one of my favourite groups of buildings in the city
