Forget GoogleMaps, Italian astronaut Ignazio Magnani has given us something much more exciting – images of Dubai and Abu Dhabi taken from outer space.
The mesmerising images have been rapidly shared on social media after NASA astronaut Ignazio Magnani tweeted out some incredible photographs of the UAE.
Magnani shared the images taken by the International Space Station as it flew over the United Arab Emirates. Apparently the station was visible by the naked eye.
