Dubai has rapidly evolved from a quiet fishing village to one of the most prominent cosmopolitans in the world, boasting of various architectural marvels and man made islands that are visible from space.
Watch the city transform in this Google Earth timelapse - from 1984 to 2016 - made from 33 cloud-free annual mosaics, one for each year, which are made interactive by Carnegie Mellon University CREATE Lab's Time Machine library.
Google Earth Engine compiled 5 million images collected over three decades by five satellites to come up with these videos.
Earth Engine is a platform for petabyte-scale scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, both for public benefit and for business and government users.
