Photographer Sebastian Tontsch, 27, snapped the vertigo-inducing images from as high as the 90th floor of a skyscraper - with some towers looking like they're floating in the sky.
The desert city's skyline is transformed a handful of times a year as it is enveloped by fog, and the serene scene is usually followed by a stunning sunrise.
In his shots, Tontsch, a German expat who now lives in the United Arab Emirates, has revealed the scale of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world at 2,716.5ft and more than 160 storeys.
The snaps also reveal Dubai's extravagance and wealth, and how it has evolved into a megacity after being a desert backwater until its transformation into a tourist hotspot and billionaire's playground began in the mid-1980s.
With man-made islands, some of the best hotels in the world and top-notch shopping, the emirate is synonymous with high-end luxury and a skyline that never seems to stop growing.
