The Crown Prince of Dubai has posted stunning footage of the world’s tallest building looming out of a sea of fog.

Hamdan bin Mohammed al-Maktoum shared the clip of the Burj Khalifa on his Instagram account from the top of a neighbouring skyscraper.

The royal, who has millions of followers on his social media accounts, captioned the video: “A world of opportunities lie beneath.”

Fog shrouded the United Arab Emirates earlier this week, with poor visibility causing numerous flight delays.

In July, images posted by the prince of the Dubai royal family taking the London Underground went viral.

Prince al-Maktoum was pictured sitting alongside his father Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, the ruler of Dubai.
