Amidst the early stages of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the Naif area of Dubai was hit the hardest by the virus. After a month of 24 hour movement restrictions, the Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management was pleased to announce that there had been no new cases had been reported, and celebrations ensued.

Our team joined UAE based social media influencer Max Stanton, also known as Max of Arabia, to capture the moment when the residents came out to show their love, support and gratitude to all those who aided the efforts to contain and treat the outbreak.

Due to limited movement restrictions in the UAE at this time, we sent out a camera operator and a photographer to capture this event.

The footage was turned around within 24 hours and the final video was shared on Max’s social media pages, amassing over 150,191 accounts reached.
