The road from The Beach to Bluewaters - Dubai. 6 years apart.

My first visit to Dubai was January 2014. The rocky outcrop I'm sat on was the harbour wall for the Marina. It's now the half way point and bridge support to Bluewaters Island. I can only access this spot now from the bridge 30ft above as in the second photo.

Directly behind me (to my right) is the Sheraton Hotel where these photos of Bluewaters land being built in the sea were taken from and Ain Dubai.

How many did you find?

You can see the harbour wall from The Beach, where both photos were taken from. This photo was taken from the Sheraton.

Dubai skyline from the Canal. 5 years apart - Spot the Difference

The construction in Dubai is non stop. not even Covid has slowed Dubai down.

When I took the first photo just over 5 years ago, I made a mistake as I failed to take into account my ability to return to the same spot to take subsequent photos. If I return to this spot now, I'd be standing in the middle of a 120 meter wide and 6 meter deep canal.

I'm sure it won't be long before I need to find a new vantage point for these two photos taken just over 2 years apart. The Dubai skyline is disappearing from view behind new layers of buildings and is becoming longer and denser.

Can you spot the differences in the skyline?

There are 2 obvious ones. Can you spot anymore?
