Time’s Transformations: Before-and-After Shots of Iconic Locations Throughout History
Dubai – 1985 Vs. 2016
Starting modestly back in 1833, Dubai has since catapulted into the future with a skyline that tells a story of astonishing urban evolution. The split photo of Dubai from 1985 vs. 2016 captures this transformation vividly. In 1985, the cityscape had barely begun to rise, with the UAE’s first skyscraper, the Dubai World Trade Centre, standing alone for some time since its completion in 1979.
Fast forward to 2016, and over 200 skyscrapers pierce the sky, including the iconic Burj Khalifa. Not to mention the Palm Jumeirah, a colossal artificial island so vast it’s visible from space, epitomizing Dubai’s boundless ambition.
