About this photo
This is a side-by-side comparison of Dubai in 1985 and 2016. The left image shows a sparse desert landscape with a few buildings and roads, while the right image depicts a densely populated, modern cityscape with towering skyscrapers and extensive highway systems. Both images highlight a Toyota building, circled in red, showing its presence in both eras. The overall mood is one of dramatic transformation and progress. ON-SCREEN TEXT: 1985, 2016, Dubai
