Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum treated his followers to a breathtaking view of Dubai on Tuesday morning, sharing stunning images of the city wrapped in a thick blanket of fog. The early hours transformed the usually vibrant skyline into a calm and almost surreal landscape, with only the tallest landmarks visible above the clouds.
The photos, posted on his official Instagram account @faz3, captured the Burj Khalifa piercing through the dense mist, standing tall and majestic against the soft white backdrop. Nearby, the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab appeared partially surrounded by fog, giving it a dramatic and almost cinematic presence. In another remarkable shot, the Dubai Frame’s golden bridge seemed to hover above the clouds, creating the illusion that it was floating in the sky.
Known for his love of photography and his deep appreciation for Dubai’s beauty, the Crown Prince often documents the city’s seasonal changes. Whether it is a sunrise over the desert, a vibrant sunset, or rare weather conditions like heavy fog, his images offer a unique perspective that highlights both the modern architecture and the natural charm of the emirate.
According to the National Center of Meteorology (NCM), foggy conditions were expected to continue until 10am on Tuesday, with reduced visibility reported in several areas. While the mist caused slower traffic during the morning commute, it also gifted residents with a rare and mesmerizing view of Dubai’s skyline, turning the city into a scene that looked almost dreamlike.
