20 Spectacular Aerial Photos Which Show That Desert Is Taking Over Dubai And Abu Dhabi

Dubai is one of the most famous cities of the world and it easily conforms to the standards of a global city. This business center of middle-east is not only the largest but also the most populated city of UAE.

Earlier, Dubai’s economy was dependent on oil revenue but now it has developed other revenues as well, such as real estate, tourism, aviation, etc. Dubai is attracting a lot of public attention because of the sports events that it organized, big construction projects which are being carried out and of course for the tallest building of the world Burj Khalifa.

However, there is another aspect of Dubai and UAE other than skyscrapers and townships. It is the sand and the landscapes which offer a view of surreal beauty to a person who loves to get engrossed in it.

Photographer Irenaeus Herok who is based in Sydney has taken some really stunning aerial shots of UAE and Dubai with the help of drone and we are sure that you are going to love them!

1Some roads lead nowhere

The highways in Dubai are pretty well-planned; however, the photo shows some roads going nowhere and ending in the middle. This may have been done considering the future plans as the road to malls, shopping center, housing society, etc. is already made and whenever the new building will be made, the trucks bringing the construction material will also have difficulty.

2Photography or painting

The beautiful landscape, sand banks and scattered trees on both sides of the road which is going in a zig-zag manner gives us an impression that this is not photography but a painting made by a very talented painter. However, the truth is that it is a wonderful photography of Irenaeus Herok and he never edits or photoshops his photographs.

3Camels getting trained

Camel is called the ship of the desert as it can move freely there and considering the fact that UAE and Dubai have so much of desert, they definitely need a number of camels. In the photo, camels are relaxing after training as we can see them lying in the sand. In the photo, they are wrapped in blankets which are tied to save them from heat in hot weather and cold in cold weather.

4Save trees

This photo speaks a lot about the importance of saving trees and how precious trees are in UAE and Dubai. The tree could have been cut for making the road but they diverted the road so that the tree can stand safely. If you look carefully, it also appears as if it is the eye of the sand which is looking in the air.

5Need for Speed

This well-built road leads to the circle and returns from them without leading the driver anywhere. The road may have been made to let the owners of sports cars check the top speed and enjoy the thrill and excitement of high speed. Well, in simple words, it is a chance to play video game ‘Need for Speed’ in real.
