In Pictures: UAE’s Famous Tourist Spots Look Stunning Even When Empty

With movements restricted across the world, every nook and corner looks empty and silence is the only sound heard. The UAE is always known for its vibrant look, but the current quarantine has made the city eerily quiet. However, there is a sense of beauty and gorgeousness even to those empty mosques and deserted streets. Take a look:

1. The Famous Sheikh Zayed Grand Masjid in Abu Dhabi

2. The Sharjah Masjid wears a serene calmness as the sun goes down

3. The Yas Marina’s time lapse gives us hope, light, love, and positive energy- just what we all need now

4. The soothing silence of the Dubai Creek

5. Close your eyes, hear the sound of wave and just dream of the day we will all get back to this place!

We’re in this together. Let’s hope and pray #thistooshallpass and we will be back to happy, old days!

A chai addict, a moody writer and mother to a smallie, my journey as a writer began with The Times of India. And now, here I am in Dubai pursuing my passion and exploring a new city, all in one go!
