The European Space Agency (ESA) has released a virtual tour of Abu Dhabi from outer space.

The video contains images captured of the UAE capital by the space agency’s two orbiting satellites that monitor the Earth and variability in land surface conditions.

Captured from orbit, landmarks including bridges, Islands, Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Mangroves National Park and Abu Dhabi Airport were photographed.
