But instead of snapping the skyline from the cockpit this pilot left his plane at home and climbed the towers of the Gulf city to take his hair-raising shots. Karim Nafatni, 31, travelled to the top of some of Dubai’s tallest buildings to catch fantastic shots of the city at night. ‘Getting on top of Dubai's highest skyscrapers and shooting this amazing city is my addiction,” he said. ‘Being an airline pilot I’m far from being afraid of heights, in fact I would say I am exactly the opposite.Taken throughout 2012 and 2013.
