I agree, this would be the correct location but you require a telephoto lens to get this composition. Also, the image would have to be flipped in the horizontal to get the Burj Khalifa in the right of the Burj Arab - lovely shot though.

Hello Saajan Manuvel, a user has written to us that your image is made up of several composite images and it is probably not possible to capture this image in a single shot because there is no location in Dubai with this view. Your plotted location also seems to be wrong. If there are multiple shots, please upload them separately in separate spots with the correct location for each, otherwise, other users will not be able to re-photograph. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Mia

Hi Mia, It is hardly surprising for me to hear the claims of the USER, glad the location proven to be very elusive as I remember from one of the photographers from another site as well commenting as this one. It is a single photo, I have the even the EXIF snapshot which I cannot attach here, let the user contact me if he need any assistance, glad to assist.

Hello Saajan Manuvel, thank you very much for your answer. I have just one more request, please check your starting point on the map from where you took the picture and correct it. In your picture the straight side of the Burj Al Arab building is pointing to the right, I looked at your starting point on Google Maps Street View and saw that the picture could not have been taken there, as the straight side of the building is pointing to the left. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Mia

The location is correct but the photo seems to be mirrored (reversed). It's definetely not taken with a wide angle lens because of the distance. You need a 200mm lens at least I think.
