Photos: #MyDubai Crosses 1 Million Instagram Submissions

The initiative to create the world’s first autobiography of a city has crossed the one millionth use of the hashtag #MyDubai on Instagram, less than six months since its launch, and in doing so created a fascinating portrait of the lives of Dubai’s residents and visitors.
“To date over 1,018,952 images have been displayed on #MyDubai, and when collectively viewed they create a fascinating portrait of life, each image chosen showing a human experience of our emirate,” said Issam Kazim CEO of Dubai Corporation for Tourism and Commerce Marketing which manages the e-Museum as part of its support for the initiative.
Every day, a selection of images hashtagged #MyDubai on instagram are chosen to represent life in Dubai on the #MyDubai e-Museum, which can be viewed on Instagram @MyDubai. In the coming months, residents and visitors will also be encouraged to share their experiences of the emirate in the forms of tweets – a selection of which will be retweeted by @MyDubai on Twitter and shown on the DIFC ticker.
