These Pictures Show Dubai And Abu Dhabi Being Retaken By The Desert

We’ve all seen enough about Dubai and Abu Dhabi to realize we’re not rich enough to ever live there. They have some of the most beautiful architecture, growing from a forgotten place in the middle of the desert into an amazing metropolis that evokes awe whenever you see it.

Sadly for Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the desert they were built in, isn’t too keen on keeping them around. It would seem that despite all the efforts made to keep the desert at bay, sand – as Anakin Skywalker told us – does get everywhere. It’s slowly but surely taking back whatever roads and buildings people built, and it’s creating some magnificent imagery.
