Satellite timelapse of the DWC Dubai World Airport, UAE

Описание: Take a fascinating look at the transformation of Dubai World Central (DWC), also known as Al Maktoum International Airport, through satellite images captured over time. This timelapse shows how one of the world’s most ambitious airport projects has evolved from desert land into a growing aviation hub.

DWC is located in Jebel Ali, approximately 37 km southwest of Dubai. Once fully completed, it is planned to become the largest airport in the world, with a capacity to handle over 160 million passengers and 12 million tons of cargo annually. The airport is a cornerstone of Dubai’s long-term aviation and economic strategy, designed to support the rapid growth of the region’s logistics, cargo, and tourism industries.

Construction of DWC began in 2006, and it currently serves cargo flights, private jets, and select passenger services, with further expansion underway. It is part of the broader Dubai South development, envisioned as a fully integrated economic zone including residential, commercial, and logistics facilities.

🌍 Witness the remarkable progress of this mega infrastructure project from space!
