10 amazing photos of Dubai's deserted streets

Dubai takes on a surreal quality as we all #stayhome…

From 8pm to 6am each night, Dubai residents have been asked to stay indoors, as the nationwide disinfection programme takes place.

As our usually busy streets become empty and public transport comes to a halt, the nightly lockdown has resulted in some spectacular images.
