From Above, as the name implies, brings viewers aerial footage of some of the most incredible places on Earth by using the very latest in drone technology. The popular show has already featured specials from New Zealand, China and India among others.You might assume that the team would have to fly even higher than usual to get the best shots of Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s famous skylines, but while there is plenty of dramatic footage of the oft-seen facade of Burj Khalifa and its glass-fronted modern peers, there’s plenty of action at ground level too.Have you ever given much thought to the Iron Age Falaj irrigation system of Al Ain, or the 130,000-year-old archeological site at Mleiha in Sharjah? Did you know that Camelicious food company is bringing the ancient art of camel farming into the 21st century on the outskirts of Dubai?I really had no idea about the ancient history of the Emirates, that was really an eye opener to me,” she says. “I think probably from all of the From Aboves we’ve done, this was the one where there was an ancient history that I had no idea about. In lots of other places it’s more well documented, so you’re not too surprised to see an ancient history story, but that was the one that really threw me here.”
