Shaikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, has revealed the imminent launch of Dubai360.com, a project set to showcase 360 degrees virtual tours of Dubai, through his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
In his Instagram page, Shaikh Hamdan posted: "Soon, we will launch Dubai360.com, the world's leading immersive virtual city tour. It is a ground-breaking website that will enable you to explore Dubai from anywhere in the world."
Integrating the latest technologies, the website presents fully interactive 360 degree panoramic time-lapse video showcasing Dubai's cultural and modern attractions.
Debuting on the website is a 12-minute long video featuring runway activities at Dubai International Airport - one of the world's busiest international airports.
Viewers can control the direction and zoom of the camera as the time-lapse plays, virtually exploring the airport in an unprecedented manner.
In the Dubai International Airport time-lapse, viewers are offered the chance to transport themselves to the very centre of the airport.
They can see planes from more than 125 different airlines flying to and from over 260 destinations across six continents. With nearly 1000 aircraft movements captured over the 24 hour period, there is non-stop action taking place regardless of which direction the viewer chooses to look.
