Cracking pics. Few places have changed like Dubai.
There was a chap who used to frequent these pages a while ago who had some similar pics. He lived in a place call Desert Spring which would have been miles out then but is now more or less derelict and surrounded by new towers.
I spent an hour leafing thru the 40yrs of gulf news photobook when in the one & only. The pace of development between the mid 90s and mid 00's was just crazy.
