Incredible pictures capture the stark desert beauty and towering skyline of Dubai

They were taken by Zohaib Anjum, an award-winning architectural photographer

THESE jaw-dropping images show the almost supernatural beauty of the skyline of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The Burj Khalifa - the tallest structure in the world - is seen shrouded in cloud and the iconic seven-star Burj Al Arab Hotel is a stark backdrop to the beautiful desert sunrise.

They were taken by Zohaib Anjum, an award-winning architectural photographer who specialises in cityscapes and landscapes.

Dubai is one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Once endless desert, it now hosts a bustling metropolis that shows no sign of slowing down.
