Cool video. Are they building a bridge there where those cement posts are sticking up?

Thanks. It's part of a massive man made island that was halted 10 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Jebel_Ali

Oh okay. I remember that now, but I did not realize it had not been completed....interesting. It looks like a really neat place even sitting unfinished.

Really cool video. I had a friend go to Dubai with his Mavic and he was not allowed to bring it in. He had it locked up by customs until he flew out of the country. What exactly are the laws concerning drones. I heard that if a Drone at any weight yield had to be operated, you must be a certified drone pilot and a local police officer must be present watching you and also pointing out where you can't fly and where you can.

Thanks.  Yes, this part of the world is not too drone friendly. Quite a few rules and not really sure if a visitor hobbyist can fly here.

I am resident here though, have been to drone school, have had the background security check and registered my drone so am good to fly (without a police officer).

Interesting images, thank you for sharing them. The story of the development is also interesting, I'm sure there are many varying opinions about whether the project should be completed.

Interesting views.  I wonder what it looks like today, 5 years on?
