Hello, comrades!
Looking for information about UAE and especially Dubai, I found interesting posts about trips there from @MoniDi one and @M_Aref two, which are highly informative and exciting.
But when I decided to look through the map of Dubai, I found a curious thing: Burg Khalifa, the highest building in the world, is pictured upside down on the satellite photo:
You can see it yourself.
I understand, that it is the matter of an angle of the photo, and technically it is not a mistake. But funny: the highest building bottom up.

Is this better?
Here are some steps you can try:
Steps to Rotate the Map:
- 1. Open Google Maps
in your web browser on your Mac.
-
- Enable Globe view:
- Look for the Layers icon in the bottom-left corner of the map.
- Click on the Layers icon.
- Select “Globe view” from the options that appear. You may need to scroll down to find it.
-
- Rotate the map:
- Locate the compass icon in the bottom-right corner of the map.
- Click and hold: the compass icon with your mouse.
- Drag your mouse: left or right to rotate the map.
-
- Reset the view:
To return the map to the default north-up orientation, simply click the compass icon again.
It looks strange, but aerial photos must be taken from somewhere. And sometimes things are behind and hence will show upside-down.
