Here’s a video by the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) team that showcases the beauty of the emirate. In line with goal of having 20 million visitors by 2020, this is one of the video ads that VisitDubai has created.

I felt it before I heard it
The heartbeat of a place I knew I belonged
Where history is lived as much as it’s made
A place where the mind awakens as the body unwinds

The chill down your spine
I am the spirit of possible
