Dubai360: New website to provide revolutionary interactive virtual tour of city

If you can't come to Dubai, Dubai will come to you. That's the aim of Dubai360.com, a new virtual tour website due to launch later this year.

The website will "showcase full 360 degrees virtual tours of Dubai," UAE news agency WAM said, promising views that will be "unparalleled to anywhere in the world".

WATCH: DUBAI AIRPORT LIKE NEVER BEFORE

Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed announced the project on his social media accounts saying: "Soon, we will launch Dubai360.com, the world’s leading immersive virtual city tour. It is a groundbreaking website that will enable you to explore Dubai from anywhere in the world."

The website will showcase interactive 360 degree panoramic timelapse videos of the emirate's most popular attractions, including Burj Al Arab, Downtown Dubai and more.

The website launched with a timelapse video of Dubai International Airport, offering a glimpse of what's to come. The 12-minute video shot over 30 hours shows the runway activities at one of the world’s busiest international airports. Viewers are able to pan and zoom into the video, immersing themselves into the experience.
