Phenomenal and amazing. that's how we can describe Dubai's transformation over the past few decades. Throw a glance out of the window and you will find change still ongoing with multiple projects being carried out around every corner. The incredible pace at which this is happening doesn't cease to marvel you. It is so rapid that we sometimes forget how the city once looked like back in the past.
Dubai Media Office has shared photos of Dubai dating way back from 1977 up to the present day. The photos were captured by NASA and are a stunning testimony of how Dubai has metamorphosed into being the city it is today. Check out the photos below.

The photos show what was once a desert transform into a city of lights. One of the most obvious observations one can make in the photos is the appearance of the Palm Jumeirah.
