Dubai is probably the most difficult place to shoot I have ever been (and I’ve been there quite a few times). Don’t get me wrong, it’s one of the most photogenic cities I have ever seen, the problem is that most of the best POVs are from residential buildings. So, if you don’t know anyone leaving there or someone that can take you to those views, you just have to make the best you can with what the hotels have to offer. The Shangri-La hotel is one of the tallest hotels in the world, and it offers one of the best views of the city in my opinion.
