Google Earth is an application that allows you to view the world map, full of information and technology. Over time, it has become increasingly improved and, today, it provides an experience almost equivalent to traveling without leaving home.
This is because some of the locations displayed by the software have 3D models and panoramas that provide an almost immersive and guided experience. To make the experience even better, some tourist spots even provide guidance information.

Shall we hop on Dubai? The city's artificial islands are among the points you can visit there using Google Earth. And yes, we can also get a sense of the huge skyscrapers there.
