His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum shared a spectacular video to Instagram of the thick fog on Sunday, which showcases the best views of three of Dubai’s iconic skyscrapers – the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al Arab and Emirates Towers.
“Early morning fog in #Dubai,” he captioned the post.
In just 24 hours, the impressive footage has amassed over 550,000 views and over 180,000 likes.
Expect more videos and photos to be circulated on social media of the fog for the next few days, as the National Centre of Meteorology has forecasted the mist to stay for the rest of the week.
