Dubai Opera House What a difference a year makes



Work started on the Dubai Opera House in April 2013. The first photo was taken in January 2016, shortly before it was was completed in August of that year.


The second photo is the completed Opera House, taken from a different angle, as when I started photographing projects in Dubai, I had no idea how the rate that the City would be growing when we moved here just over 3 years ago.


You can see the rest of my Construction 'before and after' photos of Dubai and around the world and buildings of interest I've photographed below:

Week 158 Bluewater Islands and Dubai Eye. Man made island a 210m high Big Wheel
Week 159 Dubai Marina - Reflections
Week 160 Dubai Frame. A window between the Old and New Dubai and a 150m high glass floor.
Week 161 Dubai Marina 3 years apart.
Week 162 Dubai Water Canal Bridge Construction and reconfiguration of roads
Week 163 New Metro Line for Expo 2020
Week 164 Hoover Dam

    Another fabulous building. I am in awe of how much quicker they 'grow' than buildings in the UK.

    That's a long project that looks well worth it. I like the wide shot across the harbor.

      I've not been in there yet, and the harbour is a 3meter deep lake where they have a fountain show several times a day
