Using several cameras in some of the most high security areas in the city, Whitworth was able to piece together the three minute tour which begins with a plane landing at Dubai International Aiport.
Uploaded onto vimeo, the viral video then treats the viewer to glimpses of all that Dubai has to offer, including the unique view from the top of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building.

“Really this video was about creating an amazing storyboard that people would be interested in watching, and then working out how it could be possibly done.
“This was honestly one of the most complicated shoots I’ve worked on and everything had to be spot on the first time.”
The video ends on a stunning look at the light-up dusk skyline with Burj Khalifa at the centre.
