Striking views of Arab countries from space in 20 KhalifaSat images – The National

The first Emirati-built satellite has been capturing stunning views across the Arab region since its launch in 2018.

From photos of Dubai’s artificial islands and skyscrapers to the unique landscape and architecture in Saudi Arabia, KhalifaSat has shown how remarkable these structures look from space.

It is the UAE’s third Earth-observation satellite, but is the most advanced one so far. The first two were DubaiSat-1 and DubaiSat-2.
