Dubai’s Crown Prince Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum (known by his pen name Fazza) might be one of the richest men in the world, but this stunning footage he’s taken of the Dubai skyline rising through the clouds is absolutely priceless.

He recently shared his spectacular sunrise view with his 4.4 million followers, and the video has already been viewed almost 1 million times.

It was taken from the top of one of the city’s many dizzying skyscrapers, and the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa – can clearly be seen emerging from the mist like something out of sci-fi cloud planet.

The Crown Prince took the footage after mist and fog descended on the United Arab Emirates last week, in a city that just 20 years ago was nothing but sand and rocks.
