Watch: rare video of Dubai in the early 1980s. This video was produced by the UAE Chess Federation to promote the 27th World Chess Olympiad in 1986, which was held at the World Trade Centre in Dubai. The stunning footage shows an already vibrant Dubai in the early 1980s, with dramatic aerial shots of the city, the Deira and Bur Dubai skyline, the Dubai Creek and the Arabian Gulf, along with a glimpse of the emirate's varied lifestyle amenities and impressive infrastructure three decades ago. The video's soundtrack is Sal Davies' Back in Dubai, which was a local hit in the 80s.
