We know the UAE’s city skylines like the back our hands but we still love seeing stunning satellite images of our home.
Showing Abu Dhabi and Dubai from a different perspective, The Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) has captured stunning detailed maps of the two cities from outer space.
The high resolution satellite images were taken using a new ‘mosaic’ system that captures a system of images and collates them together to create one crystal clear image.
Aiming to map the UAE in great detail, the images were shared on the MBRSC social media pages.

The new technology will allow research and academic institutions to study the geography, topography and environment of the UAE with accuracy.
We might not be able to study the images like an academic, but we do know the UAE looks amazing from the land or the sky.
