Dubai Skylines





I have seen the beautiful photos of Dubai skylines. 


To shoot a landscape in a foreign city is not easy. 


I have to find out from the locals (or the concierge) the direction of the sun, and the time sunrises and set.


I have to pay a taxi almost RM200 just to catch this image.


Of course it worths more than that - heheh


Can u see the Burjs?


Have you felt privileged yet?

My recent trip to Dubai really opened my eyes to that part of the world. 
I have been to Mecca in Saudi and Amman in Jordan. Dubai is completely different. 
It’s not typical Arab-land. Good or bad? I am not in the position to judge.
The city skyline is heaven for architects and fan of architecture. 
Dubai is like a desert is like a piece of canvas for architects to express themselves. Very impressive but I fail to feel the Arab spirit when I was there.
For 5 days, I only interacted with ONE person from Emirates. The rest were either Filipino, Indian, Saudi Arabian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or Chinese.
