Jumeirah Beach Road to Jebel Ali Village by Car

Dubai as it used to be in 2000

Marilyn Wouters lived in Dubai from 1988 to 2003. Her video shows how Dubai used to be at the turn of the century. Many of the places captured in this video have disappeared or changed significantly. Marilyn's commentary is in her native Dutch language but clearly mentions the names of the places she videos, the iconic Bouj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Mirage Hotel, Emirates Hills, 100 Villas and Jebel Ali Village.

Marilyn also demonstrates her multi-tasking abilities as she provides a running commentary, listens to her car radio, sings along with the music, videos scenes out of the car window and drives her car - all at the same time in true Dubai style!!
