Written in Sand captures the essence of life in the UAE through shared photographs on their Facebook page.
A cursory glance is all that many of us give to the sights we encounter in Dubai on a daily basis. Â Written in Sand is a group that photographs our typical Dubai surroundings and compiles them into their Facebook group.
The photographs include camels to Ferraris, shisha to cigars, local stores to glitzy shopping malls. Â There are pictures of local craftsmen at work in hole-in-the-wall stores, people playing a makeshift game of cricket on the open space between towering high rises and beautiful old doorways that mark the entrance to traditional Arabian-style homes, which stand in marked contrast to the photos of window cleaners at work on the gleaming glass of multi-storey structures.
They are sights we often encounter as we go about our lives in Dubai but, viewed through the lens of Written in Sand’s eagle-eyed photographers, these commonplace activities take on a fascinating aura, infusing the everyday with a touch of mystery.
